You’ll want to keep your eyes on the road, but others may have their eyes on your driving from above in Sheboygan County next week.
The Wisconsin State Patrol will be sending airborne troopers for aerial enforcement in four Wisconsin Counties, including Sheboygan, beginning today with pilots watching Highway 172 in Brown County. Columbia and Washington Counties are also on the schedule during the next week or so. I-43 in Sheboygan County will be observed next week Thursday, the 26th, as we approach Memorial Day weekend and the start of the busy summer travel season.
The State Patrol says it’s not so much about punishing speeding or aggressive behavior as it is about enhancing public safety. And, yes, they know that tipping drivers off in advance can make habitual violators behave better on the day being monitored – it’s called “voluntary compliance” – but that’s among the goals of aerial enforcement.
