There are more police on I-94 this week and they are keeping an eye on commercial vehicles. The Michigan State Police announced the “Eyes on 94” operation that will be increasing enforcement on the Interstate 94 highway throughout this week. The operation is being carried out in cooperation with the Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio State law enforcement agencies.
The focus will be on violations made by commercial vehicles that could contribute to crashes, like distracted driving, following too close, improper passing, speeding, and improper lane use.
Captain Richard Arnold of the Michigan State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division said, “This enforcement effort is a great example of the commitment by the MSP, Indiana State Police, Illinois State Police, and the Ohio Highway Patrol to reach our common goal of increasing traffic safety and reducing crashes.”
Arnold said that the operation is increasing awareness by being highly visible this week. The State Police said that I-94 is prone to weather-related crashes at this time of year, especially involving interstate commercial vehicle drivers.
