Highway Safety

Motorists are being reminded to watch for the snow clouds on the highways.

Coordinated enforcment is planned in Albany County and Laramie County Wyoming as well as is Weld and Larimer counties in Colorado.

In Wyoming, several bills have been put forward in the legislature over the years to make not wearing seat belts a primary offense, so that police could stop cars for that alone.

The vehicles would also be required to have liability insurance coverage of $5,000,000.

Col. Kebin Haller says troopers will be doing everything they can to stem the high traffic fatality rate Wyoming has experienced so far this year and he challenged motorists to do the same.

Highway striping crews are getting ready to begin work in central and northwest Wyoming next week, and crews are asking for help from drivers.

Another windy day causing more travel problems is expected.

Five Wyoming Highway Patrol vehicles have been hit so far in 2017 by motorists who ignored the law.
