“NOT-SO-SWEET
SIXTEEN” CORRIDOR CRACKDOWNS To prevent increasing traffic deaths from becoming a growing trend in Georgia, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety and the Department of Transportation have identified high-crash-severity roadways in each of the sixteen Regions of the statewide GOHS Traffic Enforcement Network. Based on the overall severity of crashes occurring on these roads, Georgia’s highway safety partners have labeled enforcement efforts on these sixteen traffic arteries as the “Not-So-Sweet Sixteen” High Crash Severity Corridors. Throughout the year, and especially during the 100 Days of Summer HEAT, GOHS encourages coordinated law enforcement efforts to stop speeders, safety belt violators and impaired drivers on these sixteen High Crash Severity Corridors in Georgia. On July 22nd, GOHS and the Northeast Traffic Enforcement Network (NETEN) implemented the first wave of corridor crackdowns on Georgia 365 and US 441. The news conference was held at Anderson Village on GA 365 in Habersham County. Enforcement included Hall, Habersham, and Rabun counties to the North Carolina border. |
