CSP also released data about which roads the fastest violators were traveling when they were ticketed. Interstate 70, Interstate 25, U.S. 50, U.S. 24, and U.S. 285 saw drivers with the greatest intervals between their speeds and the posted speed limits. I-70, I-25, U.S. 50, and U.S. 24 have been the top four speediest highways for six years. U.S. 285 entered the list in 2022, and has kept its position since.
Speeding was the second-highest cause of crashes that killed or injured someone in 2024. To combat speeding, CSP has begun a three-month campaign called “Stop Speeding” and is enforcing a “low-tolerance approach” to lane violations, speeding, and other high-risk driving behaviors.
