NORTHEAST WISCONSIN (WTAQ) – A new ‘air enforcement zone’ has been established in Northeast Wisconsin.
State Patrol officials say they’ll start using airplanes to watch over traffic on Highway 23 between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan.
Warning signs have been placed along a 19-mile stretch of the highway, from Highway 151 in Fond du Lac to Highway P near Plymouth.
The goal is to encourage safe driving at all times, with officials saying speed and aggressive driving can be especially problematic in two-lane areas such as this one.
State Patrol’s three planes and five pilots can detect speeding and reckless driving from their overhead views, also using a timing device called VASCAR to monitor speeds.
