"It's just heavy, high visibility enforcement," said Bob Gaydosh of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety.
Gaydosh said police are cracking down on everything from drunken drivers and road rage to texting and seat belts.
"The whole campaign is designed to wrap up during the Labor Day weekend, which is a traditional weekend unfortunately for people to be out drinking and driving," he said.
Les Goldstein of Passaic County Highway Traffic Safety said motorists are also often spotted"weaving in and out, changing lanes, driving on the shoulder, going through red lights."
He advised leaving all that aggression at home.
"It's not going to get you any place any quicker," he said.
