Minnesota law enforcement officers are joining with their peers around the country to participate in heightened enforcement to keep the roads safe during this Labor Day weekend. Northfield will have additional officers out as will Dakota and Rice Counties to encourage appropriate driving behavior and to catch impaired drivers before they hurt someone.
With reduced gas prices and decent weather, traffic is expected to be heavy. Please take extra time and use patience while driving to and from your destinations. Keep a cell phone with you and plan your routes.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) has a web site you can access for information as well as a phone number to call to monitor roadways and traffic.
