PennDOT urges safety breaks
DUNMORE - The state Department of Transportation is encouraging motorists traveling through Northeast Pennsylvania during the Memorial Day holiday to take a safety break at interstate rest areas.
From Friday through Memorial Day, community groups will serve coffee at rest areas through a program coordinated with PennDOT.
Breaks will be held at various times during the holiday weekend at rest areas on Interstates 80, 81 and 84, as well as the Matamoras and Great Bend welcome centers.
The initiative is meant to encourage drivers to take a break for safety.
