If you happened to be driving down Interstate 684 this past weekend then it is very likely that you were issued a traffic ticket or saw police officers issuing traffic tickets on the side of the road. In an attempt to prevent car accidents on the Interstate that can cause heavy delays for miles, police officers have issued more than 70 speeding tickets in one day.
Every so often, especially at the end of a month, many police agencies begin cracking down on traffic violations within their jurisdiction. Many times a speed trap or ticket blitz is issued by the local police department. For those who were unfortunately issued a traffic ticket on Interstate 684, the police had set up a Speed Enforcement Initiative to lockdown on drivers between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Police officers are generally the first responders to a traffic accident on the road. Police officers and judges that ultimately hear cases take speeding very seriously since there are many cases that they deal with that result in severe injuries and even fatalities. Cracking down on drivers every so often keeps the public on notice that it is not ok to drive aggressively and at a high rate of speed.
Are There Any Other Speed Traps That I Should Be Aware Of?
Given that so many people travel during the summer it is an opportune time for police officers to be on the lookout for traffic violations. The general public is generally not aware of initiatives taken by the police to crack down on traffic violations and the police usually jump around to target different strategic areas where violations occur.
