Since the COVID-19 pandemic began more than two years ago, law enforcement agencies across the nation have reported an alarming rise in speeding and fatal crashes.
To combat this disturbing and dangerous trend, the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Region 5 Office are once again partnering on a regional traffic safety campaign. As part of the “Great Lakes, High Stakes” campaign, more than 25 municipal, county and Michigan State Police (MSP) law enforcement agencies will focus on speeding drivers between June 18 and 26. Our office is one of these agencies.
The few minutes you save getting to your location is not worth your life or anyone else’s. Please slow down.
