Driving around Kenosha
Kenosha drivers deal with lake effect weather on the east side, long commutes on I-94 and Route 50, and harsh winters with heavy salt use. Many Kenosha residents also work or shop in northern Lake County, so their vehicles cross the state line every day. Kenosha County is part of the Wisconsin emissions program, which uses its own testing and notice system.
