State Police issue more than 27,000 tickets during
‘Speed Week’ crackdown
The New York
State Police today announced that Troopers issued 27,208 total traffic
tickets during the special “Speed Week” traffic enforcement campaign.
“Speed Week,” which was conducted from Monday, June 9, 2025, to Sunday,
June 15, 2025, targeted speeding and other unsafe driving behaviors,
including distracted driving and violations of the Move Over Law.
Troopers issued
12,703 tickets for speeding and 1,184 total tickets for Move Over Law
violations.
During the June
2024 Speed Week detail, State Police issued 22,426 total tickets, including
11,152 for speeding and 499 for Move Over Law violations.
As part of this
enforcement detail, Troopers targeted speeding and aggressive drivers
across the state. Troopers watched for impaired and distracted
drivers, vehicle occupants who were not properly buckled up, and drivers
who violated the Move Over Law, which requires motorists to exercise
extreme caution when passing emergency vehicles that are stopped in or on
the side of the road.
The State Police
supplemented regular patrols statewide, including the use of Concealed
Identity Traffic Enforcement (CITE) patrol vehicles to better locate
drivers talking or texting on handheld devices. These unmarked
vehicles blend in with everyday traffic but are unmistakable as emergency
vehicles once the emergency lighting is activated.
Here are the
results of the campaign, broken down by Troop:
