Fort Worth police are ramping up overnight traffic enforcement along key regional highways in an effort to curb high-speed driving and reduce serious accidents.<\/p>\n
Drivers traveling on Loop 820 and Interstate 30 will see an increased police presence between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. daily through October.<\/p>\n
The 90-day pilot program is funded by a $7 million allocation from the North Central Texas Council of Governments\u2019 broader $57 million regional safety initiative. Transportation officials identified speed as the primary cause of severe and fatal crashes across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, pointing to Loop 820 and I-30 as frequent hotspots for crashes and extreme speeding exceeding 80 mph.<\/p>\n
Once the three-month initiative concludes, officials will analyze crash data and speed metrics to determine whether the high-visibility patrols should expand to other municipalities throughout the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Worth police are ramping up overnight traffic enforcement along key regional highways in an effort to curb…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-397481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
