Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine

Arkansas law enforcement officers have launched a speed enforcement blitz with additional patrols to stop speeding drivers.  Operating under the tagline, “Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine”, state troopers, sheriff’s deputies and local police officers have committed to confront the safety threat caused by drivers who choose to ignore the posted speed limit on Arkansas highways and local streets. Colonel Bill Bryant, Director of the Arkansas State Police is quoted saying, “Speeding violations across Arkansas have been trending upward over the past 18 months, correlating with an increase we’ve witnessed in total fatalities from motor vehicle crashes.” During the 2019 calender year the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documented 26 percent of all traffic fatalities were involved with speeding. Avoid becoming a part of this statistic. Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine.
