Highway Patrol to Conduct Operation Slow Down/Local Officers to Conduct No Need 2 Speed

 

During the weeks of March 30-April 12, the Highway Patrol will be cracking down on speeders on the interstates and major four lane highways across the state. The Governor's Highway Safety Program and local law enforcement agencies across the state will be conducting No Need 2 Speed in conjunction with Operation Slow Down.

Speed is the leading cause of traffic fatalities and collisions in the state. Troopers will be using motorcycles, Chargers, and unmarked patrol vehicles for this campaign.

A kick-off press event with state officials will be held on Monday, March 30th, at 11:00 a.m. at the zMAX Drag way in Concord.

For additional information please call Capt. Everett Clendenin at 919-733-5027.
