School is back in session, and our officers are enforcing school zones. Today a driver was caught doing 65mph in a 25mph school zone today. Help keep Olathe students safe by slowing down and obeying all speed limits. #slowdown#backtoschool@CityofOlatheKS@olatheschools
PLEASE SLOW DOWN! According to @KDOTHQ, there were 52,000+ speed-related crashes, resulting in 836 deaths & nearly 22,000 injuries on Kansas roads 2013-2022.

Good morning from the KDOT Transportation Safety Conference!
There are hundreds of attendees here to discuss what we can do together to make Kansas roads safer for you.
Whether you’re Irish or just enjoy the festivities of #StPatricksDay, AAA urges those partaking in alcohol to plan ahead before the celebrating begins. Booze and beer―including the green variety―can be a deadly combination when it comes to driving. #DontDrinkAndDrive#DriveSober
76 mph over the speed limit!
Today, Lieutenant Craig Davis had an encounter with a 2011 BMW on I-70, checking its speed at 151 mph.
As Lieutenant Davis moved to intercept, the BMW continued its high-speed journey until the Salina Police Department intervened, stopping it for going 94 mph near the city limits.
The resulting fine for Lieutenant Davis's efforts alone amounted to $993, and that's not even factoring in the second ticket from Salina PD.

Work zones are a sign to slow down! Speed was a contributing factor in 32% of fatal #WorkZone crashes in 2021, and 24% involved rear-end collisions. https://t.co/bVTpudYDVy #NWZAW#SafeWorkZones#Orange4Safety
Spring & summer vacations are on the horizon and more drivers are planning to hit the roads. REMEMBER: #WorkZones are a sign to slow down. ✋ During #NWZAW, learn more about how to make sure crews make it home safely at the end of each shift.
