In an effort to combat rising speeding and fatal crashes on roads, the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning is launching a new initiative that will focus on speeding drivers.

Between December 1 and February 28, more than 100 municipal, county and Michigan State Police law enforcement agencies will work together to make sure motorists adhere to speed limits.

Even though Michigan saw a 22% reduction in traffic crashes in 2020, there was a 10% increase in fatalities. Recent insurance industry studies show that approximately 112,000 speeding tickets are issued each day, or about 41 million per year.
