This operation will focus on lane violations and unsafe speeds, according to Colorado State Patrol.
The Colorado State Patrol, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Greenwood Village Police Department, and Lone Tree Police Department will participate in the operation.
Wednesday’s operation will focus on unsafe passing, distracted driving, and aggressive driving such as excessive speed, and tailgating.
