Nebraska State Patrol pulled over speeders during it’s “Stop Speeding Before It Stops You” campaign.
The effort, which ran from July 20th through August 14th was designed for increased enforcement and awareness around the issue of speeding on roadways.
Throughout the campaign, troopers issued more than 1,700 speeding citations across the state. Seventy-two of the stops were for drivers speeding at or above 100mph, with another 364 drivers were cited at speeds between 90 and 99 miles per hour.
Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol Colonel John Bolduc says “Whether traveling on the interstate or a school zone, it’s critical to watch your speed to keep others and yourself safe.”
The effort was made possible thanks to a grant for $20,000 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
