If needed, the department said it will expand its enforcement to additional problem areas.
They will use crash data and traffic complaint data to determine the areas.
“Property damage crashes are up more than 13% in 2025 compared to the same time period in 2024,” the department said.
The department reminds drivers that enforcement isn’t limited to traffic stops, and if handheld photo devices capture a car’s speed and a plate, a vendor will issue a citation.
Every time officers conduct highway enforcement, cars have been caught driving over 100 mph, the department said.
