"Obey the sign or pay the fine."
It's a simple slogan that can save you
from paying a traffic ticket if you take heed.
The Mason County Sheriff’s Department
is cracking down on Route 35, which is getting an increasingly notorious
reputation for speeders and bad wrecks.
Deputies say Route 35 is one of the
most dangerous highways in the state.
They’re hoping to counter by launching
a speeding blitz.
Chief Deputy Downing says during the
blitz, officers will intensify enforcement of posted speed limits along the
roadway, and anyone caught speeding will be ticketed.
According to the sheriff’s department,
in the past year there've been more than 60 crashes along Route 35, and nearly every
one was because of speeding.
