New England Regional Enforcement Against Speeders

[SidS1045]

Using versions of the same old, tired, "speed kills" tripe, state police in the six New England states are running a speeding and seat-belt enforcement sweep on I-91 and I-95 this week, to be joined by local police on primary and secondary roads again in August.

There's at least one state that won't be doing a seat belt sweep

My question is whether or not this will also include I-89 and I-93. If not then New Hampshire is largely left out, it only has about 20 miles of highway that it will be ramping up enforcement on.

To me, it's not the speeding that's the issue for the most part, it's the unsafe lane changes and aggressive drivers.  That's what causes most accidents when they cut someone off or clip another car in the process....but for some reason that's ignored up here PSA wise.

I always hate driving in Massachusetts and Connecticut because of the general rudeness of the drivers. When I was in NH, I noticed that the Seacoast and areas south of Manchester demonstrated a lighter form of Masshole driving. It's ridiculous and why I hated to venture down to Boston.

That's largely because southern NH now is pretty much considered to be Massachusetts Lite.

It doesn't bring in the revenue.

That's why when I'm in New Hampshire, you usually only find me north of the I-93/89 junction

I drove from Long Island to Boston on May 5th and back on May 9th (big mistake on Mothers' Day weekend) using I-95, 91, 84 and 90.   I didn't see any more enforcement than normal though I did note the new vehicles being operated by Connecticut and Massachusetts State Police. Conn. staying with Ford sedans (as has long been their practice) has some new Ford Taurus patrol cars. And on the Masspike I saw new Ford Explorers, both marked and gray unmarked. What surprised me was they were sporting old-fashioned long-whip antennas for low-band radios. Ya' don't see many of those anymore.

When I drove to the Lyndon covered bridge meet, I noticed six VMS signs on I-91 about the speed enforcement and only two cop cars.

VSP can go either way.  There's days where I can range all the way to WRJ or Burlington and not see a cop.  There's other days where I'll see a half dozen just between Bradford and Norwich.

From US-3 west to the coast and from US-4 south to the state line is New Massachusetts.

Article in today's Caledonia Record saying that police agencies in the NEK will be joining in next week and through the Memorial Day weekend.
