The Illinois Secretary of State's office has introduced a campaign titled "One Road. One Focus," targeting the dangers of distracted driving, particularly among teenagers.

Central to this initiative is an educational video that will be mandatory for teens during their learner’s permit phase. The video aims to foster safer driving habits by highlighting the consequences of inattention on Illinois roads.

Additionally, the Secretary of State's office is collaborating with the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Department of Transportation to establish "Distracted Driver Corridors" in areas with high crash rates. These corridors will feature signage to alert drivers about increased risks and promote cautious driving.

For further details on the "One Road. One Focus" campaign or other safety measures against distracted driving in Illinois, additional information is available online.
