Fishers, IN – A targeted traffic enforcement blitz along 116th Street in Fishers resulted in 39 traffic stops Thursday morning, according to the Fishers Police Department.
The four-hour operation, held from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. between Olio and Cumberland roads, involved five officers monitoring vehicle speeds and driver behavior. The department reported the highest speed recorded during the detail was 27 miles per hour over the limit.
According to police, the initiative was part of an ongoing effort to reduce speeding and promote roadway safety in high-traffic corridors. Officers also reported having several positive interactions with drivers about following posted limits and maintaining safer speeds.
“The good news is that many drivers were already following the speed limits,” the department stated in a social media post. “Every stop is an opportunity to prevent crashes and protect our community.”
Fishers Police thanked drivers who slowed down and encouraged all motorists to remain alert as part of their #SafeStreetsStrongCommunity campaign.
Drivers are reminded that slowing down not only avoids citations but also helps prevent serious crashes, especially along heavily traveled roads like 116th Street.
