Drivers on I-94 might see more police than usual this week.

In an effort to reduce the number of traffic accidents nationwide, Michigan State Police, in collaboration with Indiana State Police, Illinois State Police, and Ohio State Highway Patrol will run the "Eyes on 94" campaign from Dec. 9-13.

Drivers can expect to see more troopers on I-94 cracking down on commercial motor vehicle violations, such as distracted driving, following too close, improper passing, speeding and improper lane use during this time.

"We hope to increase awareness by being visible on the I-94 freeway, which is prone to weather-related crashes involving interstate commercial vehicle drivers this time of the year," said Capt. Michael Krumm, commander of the MSP Commerical Vehicle Enforcement Division.

"Eyes on 94" is part of the statewide Drive Toward Zero Deaths traffic safety campaign.
