LANCASTER – The Antelope Valley Traffic Taskforce issued more than seven dozen citations in three hours during a speed enforcement operation Monday morning in Lancaster, authorities said.

The speed enforcement operation started at 8 a.m. Monday, Sept. 12, and it was conducted on Avenue K near Elm Avenue, according to a news release from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.

“The operation resulted in 86 citations and three misdemeanor arrests during a three-hour period,” the news release states.

The Antelope Valley Traffic Task Force consists of Lancaster sheriff’s deputies, Palmdale sheriff’s deputies, and Antelope Valley California Highway Patrol officers. The team conducted targeted speed enforcement operations throughout 2021 and reduced fatal collisions by 34% for that year, officials said in the news release.

“Lancaster Station will be conducting similar enforcement efforts throughout the city in the future and would like to remind motorists to slow down, be attentive, and drive defensively and sober, so that you may avoid a collision,” the news release states.

    All Lives matter, please slow down
    I wish the police would do something about the Indy 500 on Palmdale Blvd between Palmdale and Littlerock. Not only are they speeding but passing cars in very dangerous manners. These people are not passing me and other cars because we drive slow it’s because we don’t drive reckless with disregard to life.
    Leave earlier if you can’t make your destination in the time frame you have given yourself.

    I wonder how many citations were given for distracted driving.

      They were all distracted. Had they been paying attention they would have seen the officers and slowed down

          I’ve lived in several places in CA and NV. I’ve traveled in my RV to all states west of the Mississippi. I travel for a living, which means I live Mon-Fri in different cities, most recently Boston, Toronto, and Lafayette IN.

          Ceemac’s characterization is correct.
