“Our goal is to be transparent and hope everyone makes it to their destination safely,” the highway patrol said on social media.
This effort is part of the Dayton Service Initiative, a multi-department collaboration intended to strategically enforce traffic laws during days and times when crashes happen most.
The collaboration was formed due to high numbers of deadly crashes this year in Montgomery County, the agencies said.
The initiative handed out more than 100 traffic citations last Saturday on U.S. 35 between Interstate 75 and Smithville Road. Of those citations, 90 were speeding tickets for people driving more than 20 mph above the speed limit, law enforcement said.
