Full description: Gas prices rose at an accelerated pace in the past week as the Iran conflict dragged into another week. A major coordinated enforcement action is happening this weekend that targets distracted drivers, all part of Distracted Driving Awareness Month. One toll gantry gets prices lowered as a new gantry goes online on the north end of Florida's Turnpike; and personal pass accounts are now available for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which opens soon.
