Iowa Implements "Safety Corridors" to Combat Highways' Deadliest Stretches
The Iowa Department of Transportation and Iowa State Patrol are implementing "Safety Corridors" along Iowa's deadliest highways in an effort to reduce the number of fatal crashes, which are currently 13 percent higher than average. The Safety Corridors will feature larger road markings and signs to increase driver awareness and encourage safe driving practices. Law enforcement will be actively patrolling these areas to enforce traffic laws and ensure compliance. The Safety Corridors are located on various highways across the state.
