If you're going to be driving on U.S. 60 this week expect to see law enforcement officers.As part of the U.S. 60 Corridor Safety Blitz in several counties from the Ohio to Mississippi rivers, local police will be checking for speeding, seat belts and other traffic violations including DUI.
"We are planning to have three road safety checkpoints," said Marion Police Chief Ray O'Neal. "If the weather permits."
One safety checkpoint will be Wednesday afternoon and two more are scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The checkpoints will focus on U.S. 60 near the city limits. At least one location has been pinpointed. That will be at the city limits on U.S. 60 West near the sawmill.
O'Neal said that motorists should be prepared to show officers their driver's license, registration and proof of insurance.
