Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
​Kentucky State Police is participating in Operation C.A.R.E (Crash Awareness Reduction Effort) on Super Bowl Sunday.  On February 2, 2020 KSP Post 3 Troopers will be taking part in a national effort to increase officer presence on Interstate and U.S Highways.

KSP Troopers and Officers will put a high emphasis on all traffic enforcement violations, including speeding, failure to wear safety restraints (seatbelt), impaired/distracted driving, and commercial vehicle enforcement. In this nationwide blitz to increase safety on the roads, troopers are encouraged to report all road activity that could be dangerous to others.

"KSP is committed to protecting travelers on our roadways, and troopers will be working vigilantly to keep impaired and dangerous drivers off the road. We urge drivers to do their part to keep our roads safe by obeying Kentucky traffic laws, operating their vehicle with courtesy, and being aware of others while driving," stated KSP in a statement.

KSP offers drivers the following tips to increase safety awareness on the roads on Super Bowl Sunday:
  • Slow down - especially in bad weather, construction areas, heavy traffic and unfamiliar locations
  • Buckle up - Click It or Ticket, ensure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained. It is the law.
  • Move over for first responders - Kentucky passed a law in 2003 requiring motorists to move to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency or public safety vehicle. If it is impossible or unsafe to change lanes, motorists must slow down and use caution. Failure to comply can result in fines, jail time or both.
  • Eliminate distractions while driving - stay alert, monitor weather and road conditions wherever you are traveling, and keep your phones put away while operating your vehicle.
  • Leave early for your destinations- KSP will be conducting Traffic Safety Checkpoints this weekend to ensure motorist safety. You may encounter a checkpoint, so make sure you adjust your travel time accordingly.
