How many more speeding tickets will it take for motorists to slow down on Municipal Road 80?

For the past week, Greater Sudbury Police have beefed up patrols on the busy highway that links the valley to Sudbury proper, in an effort to curb aggressive driving.

Over three dozen tickets have been issued to drivers in that time, including the most recent one: a motorist clocked going 103km/hr in the posted 60km/hr zone.

Police say at the time roads were snow covered and city plows were in the area.

One week ago a Sudbury man was killed in a three-vehicle collision on MR 80.

Since then officers have been targeting the roadway looking for speeders.
