Overview
- Starting Thursday, Houston police are increasing patrols along the I‑610 North Loop from I‑10 West to I‑10 East with stepped‑up traffic stops.
- The operation concentrates on the West Loop from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and ABC13 reports enforcement on both Thursday and Friday.
- Police outline a zero‑tolerance approach targeting speeding, road rage, and aggressive driving, and they urge 911 reports of threatening behavior.
- City leaders frame the push as a targeted reprise of earlier efforts; records from a June surge show 469 citations issued over three days.
- TxDOT’s Drive Sober. No Regrets. campaign runs through New Year’s Day following last year’s holiday period with over 2,000 drunk‑driving crashes and 96 deaths statewide.
