KSP Launch Summer Traffic Safety Campaign

  • {Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky State Police are beginning a new summer traffic safety campaign in hopes of reducing the number of traffic fatalities and serious injury collisions. Kentucky State Police want people to think Blue when driving this summer, and they want everyone to know you will see blue lights behind you if you do not follow the rules on Kentucky roadways. B is for basic travel safety and vehicle maintenance, L is for lower speed in work zones and look out for motorcycles, U is for undivided attention on the road, E is for enforcement. Trooper Don Trosper says, so far this year, there has been 296 total fatalities, and, last year, there was 721 fatality crashes with 123 involving alcohol.
