April 1-8, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau is working with law enforcement statewide to curb distracted driving. In '24, Iowa saw a 70% increase in traffic deaths related to distracted driving. Keep your eyes on the road & off your screen. No One's a GOOD Distracted Driver!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Put as much thought in planning to get home safe tonight as you do in planning which green outfit to wear. Be safe and don't get "pinched."

If you can avoid driving tomorrow, do. If u must drive, use caution. Stopping, starting & acceleration are all affected when the roads are wet or covered with snow, slush & ice. Travel with a full tank of gas & stay in your car if u should enter the ditch or have a crash.

Here are the results from our first Hwy 20 Speed Project for 2025. February will be Hwy 218. I'll keep you updated on these projects while you should try maintain the speed limit. Speeding is one of the most dangerous behaviors on the road & a leading cause of crashes in Iowa.

[DL Goreham @ISPTrooper151]
