Officers target speeding drivers

Honolulu police issued 126 speeding citations within three hours this weekend during an islandwide speed enforcement project.

During the enforcement period — between 10:30 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 a.m. Sunday — Traffic Division officers issued 185 citations, including the 126 speeding citations, arrested two people for driving under the influence, and booked three people for alleged traffic offenses.

Last year, 75 percent of speed-related traffic fatalities on Oahu happened between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., police said.
