Eugene, OR – Drivers in the Eugene area should expect to see more Oregon State Police patrols this weekend as troopers step up traffic enforcement on Saturday, Nov. 22.
According to the Oregon State Police (OSP), the operation will focus on the state’s “Fatal-5” driving behaviors—speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, lack of seatbelt use, and lane violations. OSP says the goal is to reduce serious injury and fatal crashes across Lane County.
The agency noted that local law enforcement partners will assist with patrols throughout the Eugene metro area. Motorists are urged to slow down, wear seatbelts, and remain alert behind the wheel.
OSP reminded drivers that simple safety steps—such as maintaining lane discipline and never driving impaired—can save lives. “Your safety is our number one priority,” the department stated in a Saturday social media post.
The increased patrols come as the holiday travel season begins, a time when traffic volumes and crash risks typically rise statewide.
