HUTCHINSON, Kan. —Saturday, Nov. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 27, local and state police agencies across Kansas will take part in the Thanksgiving Safe Arrival traffic enforcement campaign.
Although all Kansas Traffic Laws will be enforced, this extra patrol will actively enforce occupant protection laws. A grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will support these overtime enforcement efforts.
Traditionally, the day before Thanksgiving sees more impairment-related crashes than any other day of the year. Vehicle occupants in alcohol- or other drug-related crashes are over 2 ½ times more likely to be injured or killed than those involved in crashes where alcohol or other drugs were not a factor.
