Illinois State Police (ISP) District 10 Commander, Captain Louis Kink, would like to remind motorists that the ISP is gearing up for the beginning of the holiday travel period.

The ISP will step up enforcement patrols as the holiday driving season begins. The goal is to make the roads safe for all motorists.

Traditionally, the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday marks the  beginning of the busy holiday travel period. Beginning on Wednesday, November 23 through Sunday, November 27, officials expect high traffic volumes on interstates and roads throughout the region. Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24, is expected to be the busiest.

The ISP is urging the motoring public to adhere to the rules of the road. Statistics continue to show that fatal crashes increase on the interstates during the Thanksgiving holiday period.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
