Troopers to saturate I-35 on Friday
A lot of folks might be planning to hit the highways this Labor Day weekend. Senior Cpl. Charlie Morgan with the Texas Department of Public Safety called us today to say that troopers will be out in force on Interstate 35 and other roadways in McLennan, Bell, Hill, Johnson and Ellis counties beginning Friday.
“Saturate” was the word he used for troopers on I-35.
Morgan said a special emphasis by the troopers will be on looking for drivers who are speeding or those driving aggressively, impaired or not restrained.

Hopefully this will convince all the West Fest goers to arrange for a designated driver…

This is a great that they are increasing their patrols. This needs to be the same all the time and not just around major holidays! If it takes the state to allocate more funding for the additional troopers it would be tax dollars well spent to keep the roads safe.
