BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Aerial traffic enforcement is set to take place in Brown County.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says state patrol will conduct aerial enforcement today along Interstate 43.
Aircraft and ground-based officers will enforce speed limits and other traffic laws.
“Excessive speed was a contributing factor to a large number of 2020’s fatal crashes,” State Patrol Superintendent Anthony Burrell said in a news release. “We choose to announce enforcement efforts like this to emphasize that the goal is public safety through voluntary compliance with traffic laws – not to stop or cite motorists.”
If weather conditions aren’t suitable for flying, enforcement is expected to proceed with ground-based units.
