KENTUCKY...
Since the inception of the primary seat belt law in 2006, the number of fatal traffic collisions in Kentucky has declined each year. State officials say they want that number to continue to decline, and their latest traffic enforcement campaign aims to do just that. Called “Operation K.S.P,” the campaign kicked off this month and will extend through early September. Officials will be seeking to lower the number of fatalities resulting from traffic collisions by focusing on driver safety, enforcement and education. Police will be conducting several road checks throughout the state during the campaign period, with hopes of conducting 1,000 checks in total. To help increase the effectiveness of the road checks, Miller said police will concentrate on particular areas where the number of collisions have been high in the past. Operation KSP began on June 1 throughout Kentucky and will end on September 6.
