Drivers should be cautious next week as Florida law enforcement will have a tight grip on their speed radars.
Starting on July 13, Operation Slow Down will be in full effect.
Operation Slow Down is a traffic safety campaign that is focused on reducing speed-related crashes on interstates and highways.
The campaign is conducted in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as with the Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, local law enforcement and more.
Operation Slow Down runs until July 18 and will cover Region IV of NHTSA, which encompasses Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The NHTSA plans to reduce speed-related fatalities with increased law enforcement and public education.
The campaign will kick off with press conferences across six different areas within Florida. One of the conferences will be hosted in South Florida on July 13 at 10 a.m. at 1011 NW 111th Avenue, Miami, FL.
For more information about Operation Slow Down, the Florida Law Enforcement Liaison Program has a whole page dedicated to the campaign.
