If you commute via Interstate 71/75 in Northern Kentucky, here’s a heads up: On Monday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., police officers will be out in force.

It’s part of a federally funded campaign against aggressive and dangerous driving on that stretch of highway, from the Ohio River to Interstate 275 in Erlanger.

Officers from four police departments are working overtime to patrol the route. It’s a yearlong project, but Monday is a special “blitz” day, meaning there will be a flood of officers pulling people over and writing tickets.

On Oct. 1, the first scheduled blitz day, officers handed out 281 tickets in a 12-hour frame.

The goal isn’t to trick people into paying a fine but rather to change driver behavior, said Edward Bailey Jr., grants manager for the city of Erlanger, which is helping oversee the $108,000 grant.

Slow down. Stop tailgating. Pay attention before you suddenly switch lanes and cut off another driver.

“We want people to know that we’re out here in force,” Bailey said. “There’s cops out looking, watching your driving behavior. If you don’t want to get a ticket, don’t break the law.”
