While some agencies are conducting enforcement operations targeting dangerous driving behaviors, including speeding, illegal turns, failure to yield, and running red lights or stop signs, others such as Capt. JP Damveld of the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office are using public information efforts to spread the word about motor vehicles and two-wheeled bikes sharing the road.
