Governor Cuomo Announces State Police Crackdown On Speeding
Written by wdkxwp on June 7, 2019
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the New York State Police will target speeding and aggressive drivers during a special weeklong traffic enforcement initiative.
This year’s “Speed Week” enforcement crackdown started Thursday, June 6 and runs through Wednesday, June 12. Troopers will also actively patrol highway work zones and will target drivers who violate New York’s “Move Over” Law.
“We will not tolerate speeding and reckless driving for a very simple reason: it puts everyone at risk and speeding is the leading cause of fatal crashes each year in New York State,” Governor Cuomo said.
NYS Police Superintendent Keith M. Corlett said, “As summer travel season ramps up, we want drivers to understand that speeding can bring tragic consequences. Our Troopers will be highly visible during this traffic enforcement period and throughout the peak summer driving period, to ensure that drivers are following the posted speed limits and remove reckless drivers from the road.”
