The Massachusetts State Police and the Department of Transportation
today announced that Troop E of the State Police will roll numerous
extra patrols on the Massachusetts Turnpike from Friday through Monday
as part of a multi-state effort to enforce traffic laws and interdict
dangerous drivers.
Massachusetts and 14 other states tomorrow will kick off the “I-90/94
Challenge” on Interstates 90 and 94 across the United States. Here,
Troop E, which is responsible for patrolling the Turnpike (Route 90)
from Boston to the New York line, will conduct enforcement efforts
focusing on distracted and impaired driving, excessive speed, seatbelt
use, motorcycle violations, and defective equipment on and unsafe
driving of large trucks and buses. Troop E will utilize marked,
semi-marked, low profile, and unmarked patrol vehicles.
In addition to normal staffing levels, additional troopers will be added
to every shift throughout the 96-hour period to conduct saturation
patrols throughout the length of the Turnpike. The road patrols will be
complemented by patrols run by members of the Troop E Community Action
Team and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit.

Be careful out there, looks like it's open season or commuters this
weekend

If the Mass cops really want to interdict dangerous drivers, all they
have to do is go to downtown Boston during any rush hour. I drove in
and around New York City and northern New Jersey for many years and
none of them can compare to Boston drivers for shear reckless
aggression.


That would get them too many locals.. they want interstate travelers and
vacationers so it makes less impact on those paying their paychecks..
They will be looking harder at "out of state" plates, no doubt...
