WARREN COUNTY, Mo. \u2013 Some Warren County commuters noticed the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) using an aircraft to help with traffic enforcement along Interstate 70 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Commercial truck driver Michael Axton was pleased. He said he has witnessed multiple crashes in construction zones in Warren County.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy that somebody\u2019s doing some kind of enforcement to help,\u201d Axton said.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Andy Gadberry, with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, said the enforcement targeted an area where multiple crashes have been reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had issues ever since the construction started here in Warren County on Interstate 70,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gadberry said the aircraft allows troopers on the ground to focus on making traffic stops in safe areas. Construction zones often feature narrow lanes and lack shoulders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re able to sit on the other side of the construction zone while the aircraft checks the vehicles going through the construction zone and then radios to troopers on the ground to make sure they are behind the correct vehicle,\u201d Gadberry said.<\/p>\n

Warren County resident Justin Wyatt applauds the effort. He says too many drivers are speeding and violating traffic laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust follow the speed limit and stay at 55 like it says,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gadberry said some of Tuesday\u2019s speeders said they were unaware that construction speed limits are in effect even when construction workers are not present.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see the signs up saying it\u2019s a construction zone, and you see the signs with a 55 miles per hour speed limit, or whatever the speed limit may be through the construction zone, if those signs are up, it is an active zone,\u201d Gadberry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust do the speed limit and everybody gets to their families safely,\u201d Axton added.<\/p>\n
