Boulder County, CO – The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office issued a public reminder to slow down Thursday after a deputy stopped a driver traveling 78 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone on Highway 52.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the stop occurred between U.S. 287 and East County Line Road—a stretch the department says has seen several serious crashes in recent months. Officials used the incident to emphasize the risks of speeding in the busy corridor.
“Getting there a few minutes faster is never worth the risk,” the department said in its post, adding, “Don’t traffic crime in Boulder County.”
Deputies continue to monitor Highway 52 closely as part of ongoing enforcement efforts aimed at reducing speeding and preventing further collisions. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra time during commutes and to remain alert, particularly during high-traffic hours.
The Sheriff’s Office routinely shares safety updates and traffic reminders through social media to raise awareness and keep local roadways safe.
