Good afternoon citizens of Enterprise, Oregon and surrounding communities. This beginning of March 2026, our agency is putting a heavy emphasis on speeding. Please remember to follow speed limits. You may not only be impacting your life but the lives of others. Listed below are some facts about the Dangers of Speeding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
TRAFFIC SAFETY FACTS & DATA PUBLICATIONS
For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities.
Speeding endangers not only the life of the speeder, but all of the people on the road around them, including law enforcement officers and first responders. It is a problem we all need to help solve.
Consequences:
Speeding is more than just breaking the law. The consequences are far-ranging:
Greater potential for loss of vehicle control;
Reduced effectiveness of occupant protection equipment;
Increased stopping distance after the driver perceives a danger;
Increased degree of crash severity leading to more severe injuries;
Economic implications of a speed-related crash; and
Increased fuel consumption/cost.
