The Kansas Highway Patrol is partnering with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Kansas and local law enforcement agencies for a statewide DUI enforcement on Saturday, Aug. 27. The focus of the enforcement is to remove impaired drivers from Kansas roadways.
The Patrol will participate in the 4th annual “Saturation Saturday” campaign. Law enforcement will implement DUI check lanes and saturation patrols to combat impaired driving across the state.
This years’ “Saturation Saturday” campaign coincides with the annual You Drink. You Drive. You Lose campaign. Through funding from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the Patrol will have additional coverage during this period.
MADD’s “Saturation Saturday” campaign aims at lowering the number of drunk driving crashes and fatalities during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. With Labor Day weekend quickly approaching, the Patrol encourages you to celebrate safely by planning to have a sober driver or using a ride share service if you will be drinking.
If you need assistance on a Kansas highway, you can call KHP for assistance at *47 (*HP) or *582 (*KTA) for the Kansas Turnpike.
