Local Pennsylvania State Police troopers are teaming up with the yellow Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

State police Cpl. Jere Ustonofski, his uniform patch visible on his sleeve, holds a radar gun as he monitors vehicles' speed inconspicuously from the window of a yellow Pennsylvania Department of Transportation truck on Route 924, just outside of Hazleton, which connects Hazleton to Interstate 81 and the Humboldt Industrial Park.

The name? Operation Yellow Jacket

"We wanted the public to have confidence knowing a trooper is on scene by having the vehicles more identifiable with a trooper," communications director Ryan Tarkowski said in response to questions from PennLive.  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/01/pennsylvania_state_police_flee.html

The Atlanta City Council passed legislation this week seeking to curb a recent proliferation of ATVs on Atlanta public streets. Councilwoman Joyce Sheperd says ATV drivers are risking their lives and the lives of others by driving recklessly and performing dangerous stunts.

Under the amended ordinance, violators could face a $750 fine for a first violation, up from $250 and a $1,000 fine for a second violation, up from $500. A third violation could garner 30 days to six months in jail, while all subsequent violations could see 60 days to six months in jail.

The use of go-karts and golf carts are not affected by the legislation.
