ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Police Department is cracking down on highway speeding, which has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
OPD launched Operation Highway Slow Down this week, a campaign to reduce the number of crashes, fatalities and injuries on the highways.
According to police, there have been fewer vehicles on the roads during Florida’s stay-at-home order, but officers said they’ve also seen an increase of speeding vehicles and aggressive driving.
During the enforcement period, police said they will focus on strategic points along State Road 408, State Road 417 and State Road 528.
