State Troopers Participating in Multistate US 20 Speeding Campaign

If you drive on Route 20, you’ll want to keep an eye on your speedometer.

New York State Police have announced they’ll be joining eight other state police forces in stepping up speed enforcement efforts along US Route 20 Tuesday as part of a multistate effort to reduce speed related crashes on non-interstate highways.

You can expect to see more troopers and local law enforcement during the morning and evening drive in both marked and unmarked vehicles.

“Initiatives like this provide a unified effort in raising awareness about the dangers of speeding and reckless driving,” said New York State Police Acting Superintendent Steven A. Nigrelli. “In 2020, 11,258 individuals were killed in speed-related accidents across the country. Speeding endangers, not only the speeder, but it also compromises the safety of other motorists. We urge New Yorkers to make safety their top priority and be mindful of the speed limit, put their phones down, and be aware and alert.”

Route 20 spans 12 states, running coast to coast and covering over 3-thousand miles.
