Slow down on highways

The Western States Traffic Safety Coalition, which includes the highway patrols from Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and many others, will initiate a special effort beginning this week to identify and address the dangers of excessive speeds on our highways.
Altogether, the WSTSC is made up of law enforcement agencies in 12 states which are committed and unified in keeping the people and highways in their communities safe.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused people to drive less in 2020, many of those who did drive were driving faster. In 2020, factoring in the traffic patterns observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wyoming Highway Patrol experienced a 15% decrease in speed citations issued, but seeing a 29% increase in speed citations being issued more than 100 miles per hour.
To help address this issue, the WSTSC will be conducting an Excessive Speed Enforcement Safety Campaign June 25th – 27th.
