WPCNR THE FEINER REPORT. From Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. August 12, 2018:
If you don’t like getting tickets avoid speeding on the Sprain Parkway–60 tickets issued in one day!
I am suggesting a digital speed board be placed on parkway advising motorists how many tickets were issued
Sprain Parkway is one of the more dangerous parkways in our county – with numerous accidents, lots of speeding and periodic fatalities. According to the greenburghdailyvoice.com “dozens of motorists were cited for speeding on the Sprain Brook Parkway on Tuesday, as police conducted a special speed enforcement detail in Westchester.
New York State Police Troopers were out in force on the parkway on Tuesday in Greenburgh and Yonkers, dishing out a total of 60 tickets, including 49 for speeding.
The latest detail is the most recent for State Police, who have been busy all summer in an attempt to curtail speeding and distracted driving.
Last week, a man was clocked going 99 mph during a detail on I-684. Last month, nearly 12,000 tickets were issued statewide during the annual July 4 crackdown.”
I have written to the NYS police suggesting that they post a digital speed board at locations on the parkway indicating how many tickets they recently issued. I think that motorists would slow down if -while driving – they see a digital board advising them how many tickets were issued at the specific locations. The Greenburgh police periodically post ticket information on digital boards. And, I think it’s effective.
