The Iowa DOT’s MVE officers will concentrate enforcement activities on behaviors including: following too close, lane change violations, speeding, seat belts, and cell phone use. This targeted enforcement will take place on the following interstates, U.S. and state highways:

Monday, Oct. 17 –  Des Moines Metro I-80/35 corridor, along with I-35 including the Bevington work zone
Tuesday, Oct. 18 – Davenport area on I-80 , I-280,  and I-74,
