The Kansas Highway Patrol will increase enforcement on state roadways during the Labor Day weekend.

The Patrol is participating in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign as troopers work to reduce crashes caused by impaired driving, speeding and inattention. Drivers are encouraged to wear seat belts, properly secure children and check their vehicles before traveling. Motorists should also allow additional travel time and check KanDrive-dot-gov for current road conditions, construction and delays.

Anyone planning to drink should designate a sober driver or arrange another ride home. Motorists needing assistance on a Kansas highway can call star-47. Those traveling on the Kansas Turnpike can call star-5-8-2.
