MONONA, Wis. — A coordinated enforcement operation using aircraft to monitor the Beltline resulted in 65 traffic stops Wednesday, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol. State Patrol troopers watched traffic from planes and radioed information about suspected reckless drivers to officers from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and Monona Police Department on the ground. Drivers who received citations averaged 85 mph, the State Patrol said. One driver was observed traveling 112 mph, while Monona officers said the fastest driver they stopped was going 99 mph. Monona Police Chief Brian Chaney said the speeding was particularly concerning because it occurred during the weekday lunch hour. “People need to slow down,” Chaney said, calling the driving behavior dangerous. Officers also stopped drivers for following too closely and cutting off other motorists. The State Patrol said it has issued more than 550 citations and warnings on the Beltline so far this year. Most citations went to drivers traveling at least 20 mph above the speed limit. The agency issued more than 1,100 citations and warnings on the roadway last year. State Patrol Superintendent Tim Carnahan said the agency will continue working with Dane County law enforcement partners on safety operations, while urging drivers to follow speed limits and drive defensively. None of the drivers stopped by Monona officers attempted to flee, police said.
