Seward County—

As part of the speed reduction awareness and high-visibility enforcement campaign, Speeding Slows You Down, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reminds everyone that speeding has life-threatening consequences and to obey speed limits. From July 7th to July 15th, Seward County Sheriff’s Office will join this campaign by providing high-visibility patrol and issuing speeding citations to drivers breaking the law.
Speeding is an aggressive and deadly behavior. It reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object, or an unexpected curve.
“We are calling on everyone to show regard for all road users’ lives and safety, including their own, by following the speed limits everywhere and all the time,” said Sergeant Bo Jacobs. “Posted speed limits are the law. When everyone abides by them, they are fulfilling their responsibility of helping prevent life-altering injuries and fatalities. We’re putting all drivers on alert — follow the law.”
