INDIANAPOLIS — There will be extra patrols on the roads this week with an extra focus on looking for drivers going too fast and driving dangerous.

Indiana is taking part in a six-state “Speed Awareness” enforcement campaign.

Authorities are not just looking to give people tickets , but hoping to educate them on the importance of slowing down and driving safer.

In addition to Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin are taking part in the campaign. Federal grants were given to law enforcement agencies to pay for the overtime patrols.

In addition to speeding violations, officers will also be looking for things like impaired driving, not wearing a seat belt, and other dangerous driving behaviors.
