roadways within all cities and towns as well Law enforcement entities now have the
opportunity to focus their enforcement efforts on those streets and roadways that have a high
number of speed-related crashes and/or experience high rates of noncompliance with the posted
speed limits This program will entail officers, on an overtime basis, working identified roadways
having substantial degrees of noncompliance with posted speed limits within the city limits All
equipment for this program will be provided from existing resources, and the State will reimburse
the City for overtime pay and mileage expenses
