(MSC News)- If you're hitting the highway this weekend, make sure to slow down and travel safely.

That word of advice comes as a six state enforcement is scheduled for this weekend, running from now through Sunday, July 23.

According to a press release issued by the Kansas Highway Patrol, they will be working with local law enforcement agencies to address the issue of speeding.

According to the Patrol, as speed increases, the severity of a crash increases, meaning serious injuries or even death.

Along with the Kansas authorities, five other states will be on the lookout for fast drivers as part of the combined effort.

That includes law enforcement in Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

The combined effort will include speed enforcement on state and federal highways, as well as city and rural roads.

Citations will be issued not only for speeding, but for other driving related infractions, such as not buckling up.

The six state speed enforcement effort, the Patrol says, is intended to educate drivers and passengers on the importance of following traffic laws.
