LSPD Conducting Crash Reduction Project Along M-150 Highway

The Lee's Summit Police Department will be conducting a Crash Reduction Project along 150 Highway for the next 6 months. There will be multiple focus areas within this project along 150Hwy; to include the feeder streets to 150hwy. (Ward Rd, Pryor, 291hwy)

What you can expect: Officers being highly visible along 150 Hwy, stopping vehicles for a multitude of reasons that often lead to crashes. Some of the most common factors we see in crashes are "Following too closely", "Failure to yield", "Inattention", and/or "Speed."

What you can do: Tell family, friends, teen drivers, and co-workers, about this project and if it wasn't obvious; SLOW DOWN, KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE, YIELD, PAY ATTENTION and lastly, understand that we are trying to keep everyone safe by reducing crashes.
