Starting today, Pennsylvania will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy.

The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets.

1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime.

There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways.

They are the following:
>
> I-279 north and south
> I-376 east and west
> I-76 east and west
> I-80 east and we st
> I-79 north and south
> I-70 east and west
> PA-60
> PA-66
> US-22
>
5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes.

They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on full time.

If you work in western Pennsylvania, you will probably take one of these highways.

It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.

KDKA and WDVE confirmed all of this.

So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on you.

Driving Ticket fine increase in PA:

Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of PA Law:

39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or insurance card at the time you are stopped is going from $44.00 to $173.00.

Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them.

If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent $173.

And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

Hoops,

Dunno if it covers the entire state or not. Wouldn't surprise me if it did, but if they only issued 30 new unmarked cruisers for the operation....it doesn't seem likely.

Get your documents in order!

Why take chances?
