The Highway Patrol is will be cracking down on speeders for two weeks beginning today with Operation Slow Down. The Highway Patrol will be cracking down on speeders on the interstates and major four lane highways across the state. The Governor's Highway Safety Program and local law enforcement agencies across the state will be conducting No Need 2 Speed in conjunction with Operation Slow Down.
Speed is the leading cause of traffic fatalities and collisions in the state and the Highway Patrol receives numerous citizen complaints concerning motorists traveling at dangerous speeds on the highways. Troopers will be using motorcycles, helicopters, Chargers, and unmarked patrol vehicles for this campaign.
