Extra patrol will be on Iowa’s roadways this Memorial Day weekend. The Iowa State Patrol will have increased efforts with a focus on seatbelt usage. Last year, three people were killed on Iowa roadways during the three-day Memorial Day weekend. According to the Iowa Department of Public Safety, officers will also be on the lookout for distracted driving and impaired drivers. The department encourages motorists to obey speed limits, wear seatbelts and obey the laws while traveling.
