View Full Version : Police write over 200 tickets.

The OKC Police are finally cracking down on the speeders on the Broadway Extension. Thursday, alone, they wrote over 200 tickets for speeding. They said the motorist going the fastest was clocked at 94 mph. That is way too fast for anybody to go. The funny thing, though, is that many of the motorists that were ticketed, knew that the police were going to be out there writing tickets. As a matter of fact, the police had two signs set up on the Broadway Extension, warning motorists of unmarked police cars, and warning them that they were being watched.

Some people just don't ever learn. All I know, is that this has not only caused some people to slow down, but it has also made some needed money for the City. I hope they keep this up, and maybe motorists will get the message to slow down, before somebody gets killed.

no more than five over is fine. anything over should be addressed.

I just wish they would go after the slowies. They are just as dangerous.

I have a friend who is a state trooper....he says they typically only go after you if you're 10+ over the limit.

I'm glad to see the police cracking down on this stretch of roadway. Enforcement has been needed there for years. If I were still going to UCO, I guess I'd probably think otherwise though...I remember several mornings running late, and speeding down Broadway Extn. to make class in time! lol!

What gets me is that these people were warned of police presence with large signs,a nd yet they were still caught for speeding!

I still think the OKPD needs to enforce the Hefner Parkway more. It doesn't seem like traffic has slowed down any on that stretch of roadway. It's probably worse than Broadway Extension.
