Ramapo
Ramapo - State police have doubled the number of speeding tickets issued
between exits 15 and 16 on the New York State Thruway following three fatal
crashes in that stretch of highway.
The stepped-up enforcement
began after nine people were killed in the crashes, although police said speed
was not a factor in any of them. Troopers now issue about 79 speeding tickets
a day along the Rockland-Orange corridor.
Maj. George Beach II, commander
of the troop that patrols the 641-mile Thruway, warned drivers that the ticket
blitz would continue through the summer. Aggressive drivers, such as those who
tailgate or change lanes abruptly, would also be targeted, he said.
Beach said the stepped-up
enforcement would remain until police saw an "appreciable difference" in speeds
on that section of highway. The area has a posted speed limit of 65 mph, but
most people drive much faster.
