State Police ran a targeted enforcement effort called “Operation Hard Hat” in Brighton along Route 590 near the Monroe Avenue overpass construction site. Over a six-hour period, troopers issued 66 tickets—most for speeding through the work zone.
The operation is meant to crack down on unsafe driving in construction areas, where workers are especially vulnerable. Officials are reminding drivers that speeding fines are doubled in work zones, making violations both dangerous and costly.
