DAYTON, Ohio — The Dayton Police Department said it’s ramping up enforcement efforts after an increase in traffic crashes and traffic-related complaints.
Dayton police said its main focus will be Interstate 75 and U.S. 35 within city limits. Authorities said property damage crashes are up more than 13% so far this year compared to the same time period in 2024.
“Using crash data and traffic complaint data, we will expand enforcement to additional problem areas as needed,” the department said.
The department warned enforcement will not be limited to just traffic stops. It plans to use handheld photo devices to capture a driver’s speed and plate. If in violation, the department said its vendor will issue a citation.
“Every day we have conducted highway enforcement, vehicles have been recorded traveling in excess of 100 mph,” the department said.
