Slow Down, Police Are Out In Full Force For Speed Week
Every year around this time Governor Cuomo announces what is called speed week. In other words, slow down or you may end up with a ticket.
To make it a little bit harder for us here in the Capital Region, there is a ton of construction going on. We already have to drive on the Northway slower than we would like. Fifty-five already seemed slow, now it is forty-five. Our friends in blue are pretty harsh, as they should be, when it comes to speeding in a construction zone. Also remember, fines are doubled in these zones.
The police officers are going to be out in full force keeping their eye out for people speeding. I have a feeling they are going to be looking for more than just that too.
What the Governor calls "Speed Week" will be in effect until Wednesday, June 12th.
