Drivers on I-90 in Cuyahoga County better get ready to buckle up.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday that the stretch of highway has been designated as the state's first Speed and Seat Belt Safety Corridor. This means an increased number of state troopers and police officers will be monitoring the road for offenders, with the Ohio State Highway Patrol as well as the Cleveland, Euclid, and Bratenahl police departments all pitching in to help.

"Officers and troopers are constantly encountering drivers on this section of I-90 who are driving recklessly with no care for their own safety or the safety of others," DeWine said in a statement. "We're giving this stretch of I-90 extra attention because many of the fatal and severe-injury crashes here could have been prevented with lower speeds and seat belts."

According to the governor's office, Cuyahoga County leads Ohio in both speed-related and unbelted car crashes. Additionally, since 2021, roughly a third of all wrecks on I-90 between East 55th and East 260th Streets have involved motorists who were not wearing seat belts.
