MoDOT Implements Travel Safe Zone on Route 63 in Texas County

SIKESTON - The Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Highway Patrol Troop G are implementing a Travel Safe Zone on one section of Route 63 north of Cabool, Missouri starting Monday, Nov. 24.

A Travel Safe Zone will be designated on Route 63 between Houston and Cabool, in Texas County, from Cloverdale Road to Orchard Road.

A Travel Safe Zone is being designated on Route 63 after a highway safety analysis showed the number of fatal or disabling injury crashes on this section of roadway was greater than the average on similar highways. MoDOT uses Travel Safe Zones to improve safety of a clearly defined roadway segment. Established by Missouri statute, Travel Safe Zones increase fines for moving violations and increase public awareness in an effort to reduce the number and severity of crashes in the Travel Safe Zone.
