A four-month speed enforcement campaign saw more than 68,000 tickets issued.
Law enforcement from 259 agencies across Minnesota cited 68,723 drivers for speed violation as part of the initiative from May 1 through September 2.
Officers, deputies and troopers participated in the statewide extra enforcement and awareness campaign coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety.
“In a world where speeding has become all too common, it’s easy to forget that it steals lives,” said OTS Director Mike Hanson.
“The staggering fact that over 68,000 speeding tickets were issued over four months, and that’s only the people who were caught, highlights the severity of the issue. We must prioritize safety over speed. No destination is worth the risk of losing a life.”
