The operation: This is part of the 6-State Trooper Project, aimed at boosting highway safety across the region.

Officers will be visible to ensure drivers adhere to road safety rules.
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia will not participate in this weekend’s effort.

Why it matters: With high traffic on I-75, compliance with these rules prevents accidents and saves lives.

Looking back: Previous operations have shown improvements in driver behavior and reduced safety violations reported LEX18.
