N.C. Highway Patrol troopers will step up enforcement of traffic laws around high schools next week as part of an effort to improve teen driver safety during prom season, according to a report in the Asheville Citizen-Times.
Troopers also will conduct traffic safety education programs at high schools during the effort, called Operation Drive to Live.
The statewide initiative is from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
