ALBANY, N.Y. \u2014 A statewide traffic enforcement effort starts Monday across New York.<\/p>\n

Speed Week<\/a> begins Monday and runs through Sunday, Aug. 9. State troopers, county deputies and local police will be out in force looking for speeders.<\/p>\n

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York said the goal is to reduce the number of fatal crashes. The state says speeding is the leading cause of death across New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese enforcement campaigns are crucial, as\u00a0speeding continues to be a leading cause of fatal crashes each year in New York State,\u201d\u00a0Hochul said. \u201cAs always, we have zero tolerance for those who endanger others by driving recklessly, so I urge everyone to do their part to keep our roadways as safe as possible by following the\u00a0speed\u00a0limits, avoiding distractions and never driving while impaired.\u201d<\/p>\n

The previous speeding crackdown, \u201cSpeed Week 1,\u201d started on Monday, June 8, and ended on Sunday, June 14. In that period, law enforcement across the state gave out a total of 56,578 tickets, including 14,005 for\u00a0speeding, 2,220 for distracted driving, and 1,386 for impaired driving.<\/p>\n
