Florida, Georgia and Alabama authorities are stepping up their traffic enforcement efforts for what could be a busy Labor Day weekend.
They held the 18th annual "Hands Across the Border" event today to launch the campaign.
Authorities are taking a zero tolerance policy towards any violations.

The three handshakes between these officers symbolized what Tuesday's event was all about.
Their message was clear: Obey all traffic laws or pay the price this upcoming Labor Day weekend.
"You violate the law, you will be cited, you will be arrested."
"There will be no warnings, there will be no excuses when you are caught breaking the law."
"Labor Day weekend is among the deadliest in the state. Last year, 36 people died on Florida's roadways, 12 of those deaths had alcohol as a contributing factor," says Captain Elwood Stephens, Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
"Florida, Georgia and Alabama law enforcement agencies are dedicating themselves to arresting impaired drivers whenever and wherever they find them," says Randall Smith, Florida Department of Transportation.
In 2008, alcohol played a role in more than 22,000 crashes, 1,100 fatalities and 15,000 injuries in the state of Florida.
In Jackson County, there were 75 alcohol-related crashes, 56 related injuries and 7 fatalities.
"I'm standing here as the Captain of the Florida Highway Patrol who lost a brother to DUI...so I know what it's like," says Captain Terry Blackmon.
But officers will be looking out for other violations.
"I cannot understand for the life of me anyone who will not put on a seatbelt."
"Tuesday's meeting not only allowed several dozens of law enforcement agencies the chance to swap war stories, it also allowed them to share ideas and strategies on how to protect our roadways."
Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes says, "they talk about different routes people are using, what they're seeing on their highways, if there are certain establishments on state or county lines where people are drinking and driving."
"We will be doing our part but we need the citizens of Florida, Alabama and Georgia to do their parts as well," says Marianna Police Chief Hayes Baggett.
They believe 2009 can be different if people are willing to be more careful on the road.

Authorities will be conducting various sobriety checkpoints especially at night.
