Toledo, OH – Troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol have joined the nationwide Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project.
The Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project, started by the Iowa State Patrol, is a collaborative effort that promotes safety and tries to reduce crashes across the 12 states that U.S. 20 runs through, according to a release from the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
The effort in the 12 states takes place on a select day with a two-hour initiative in the morning and a two-hour initiative in the evening bimonthly, with state police, state highway patrol, and local agencies assisting.
U.S. 20 spans nearly the length of the entire country, including 259 miles in Ohio. The East-west roadway is about 15 miles south of Adrian.
During the most recent Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project initiative on September 13th in Ohio, 33 troopers issued 83 citations, 57 warnings and assisted 11 drivers.
