MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reminds motorists to drive safely over the weekend.

Triple A projects more than 1.4 million Wisconsinites could hit the road this holiday weekend. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) urges motorists to practice safe driving habits – slow down, put the phone down, stay alert.

Most road construction will pause during the holiday weekend to maximize open lanes. Most Wisconsin rest areas remain open, providing travelers with restrooms, essential amenities, and a safe place to take a break.
