The Thanksgiving Holiday is one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.

Local law enforcement is reminding all residents to obey posted traffic laws, including speed and seatbelt use. They also remind all drivers to put cell phones away and to avoid drinking and driving.

Local agencies, including the Pella Police Department and Marion County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Iowa State Patrol, will have extra officers on the road through the end of the weekend.
