Wisconsin plans to step up traffic safety
checks of large commercial vehicles Tuesday through Thursday.

The Wisconsin State Patrol is participating in the annual
Roadcheck program sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety
Alliance.

The three-day safety effort is designed to increase compliance
with all commercial motor vehicle driving and equipment regulations
and increase the number of drivers wearing seat belts.
Last year in Wisconsin large-truck crashes dropped 21 percent
compared with 2008 and fatalities declined nearly 12 percent.
