The students are coming back, the University of Kansas is preparing for above-average traffic on Thursday and the Lawrence Police Department is kicking off a campaign to keep the roads safe.

Alongside nearly 150 other police agencies across Kansas, Lawrence police will be keeping an eye out — more than usual — for impaired drivers, the department said in a news release.

By impaired, the department means drunk drivers, drugged drivers and otherwise dangerous drivers, the release said.

The campaign, called “You Drink. You Drive. You Lose,” will run from Thursday to Sept. 5, the release said. Funding is provided by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Extra officers will be specifically responsible for looking for anyone skirting traffic laws, the release said, whether the drivers are speeding, swerving, violating traffic signals or not wearing a seat belt.

The campaign’s goal is to make the roads safer by reducing the number of crashes, the release said.
