Extra Speed Enforcement

State Patrol troopers are working hard to help people understand that speed kills. Out of the 116 people killed on Minnesota roads, 47 are speed-related. The 47 speed-related fatalities compares with 25 this time last year.

Troopers have written 24,681 speeding tickets in 2021 compared with 22,434 last year.

The number of drivers going 100 mph or more is unprecedented.

Troopers cited 306 drivers to date for going 100 mph or more compared with 269 this time last year.

If you speed, expect to be stopped.

Extra enforcement now on Minnesota roads.
