With holiday travel increasing around the Thanksgiving Holiday and potential snow in the forecast for the Camas Prairie and mountain passes, the Idaho State Police is urging motorists to slow down, buckle up, and drive sober as families head into one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
Troopers will be patrolling key corridors in north-central Idaho, including U.S. Highway 12, U.S. Highway 95, and surrounding state highways where traffic volumes increase sharply during the holiday weekend. Patrol efforts will focus on hazardous moving violations, impaired driving, and distracted driving, with the overall goal of achieving zero fatal crashes.
ISP reminds drivers to drive sober or don’t drive at all. Wear a seatbelt when driving or riding in a vehicle. Watch your speed and increase following distance. Put the phone down and avoid distractions. Slow down and move over for emergency and tow vehicles, as required by Idaho law. And make sure your vehicle is prepared for winter driving, especially if traveling outside the Lewis–Clark Valley.
