Arkansas State Police announces its statewide traffic safety blitz, called “Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine”, in progress now through Sunday, July 19th.
Also during the rest of the month of July, Arkansas State Police will be a part of the Regional Speed Enforcement Plan, with Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Speeding violators will be targeted on certain selected days of the week.
Colonel Bill Bryant, the Director of the Arkansas State Police and who is also the Governor’s Highway Safety represented, elaborated.
“Speeding is synonymous with tragedy and death on our roadways. It’s a proven fact, higher speeds significantly reduce a driver’s reaction time and ability to steer safely around other vehicles, roadway hazards, and unexpected highway exits or detours in highway construction zones.”
Ultimately the goal of these efforts is to save lives, and also to make drivers aware that there is no excuse for speeding. This is why we are being urged to ‘Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine’.
