New York State Thruway Drivers Urged to Slow Down in Construction Zones
“Operation Summer Brake,” an eight-day initiative
promoting work zone safety, will take place Monday, August 27, and continue
through Monday, September 3, 2012, the New York State Thruway Authority and
State Police Troop T announced.
“As part of ‘Operation Summer Brake,’ the
Thruway Authority encourages motorists to be alert on the road, drive
responsibly, obey posted speed limits, and avoid all distractions to ensure a
safe trip to their destination,” said Thruway Authority Executive Director
Thomas J. Madison.
From August 27 through September 3, members of
Troop T will be stepping up enforcement efforts on the Thruway.
“Throughout this period of expanded enforcement,
the dedicated members of Troop T will be watching for those who are
intoxicated, speeding, or driving aggressively,” said Sgt. Thomas Ferritto.
“Also, Troop T will be enforcing the Move Over
Law to protect maintenance workers, tow truck operators, and state
troopers.”
New York State Police Troop T issued 838 tickets
during the 2011 “Operation Summer Brake” campaign.
“The New York State Thruway has an outstanding
safety record, and we are committed to working with New Yorkers and the State
Police,” added Madison.
