A targeted enforcement effort is planned in central and southside Virginia on Tuesday, May 20.
According to Virginia State Police, the effort will cover Route 360 from Amelia County to South Boston in Halifax County, where the road meets with Route 58.
The effort will run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Crash data compiled by VSP shows that in a three-year period, there were 311 crashes along the approximately 83-mile stretch of Route 360.
Eight of those crashes were fatal, and of those eight, three occurred on a Tuesday, the same day as the planned enforcement effort. There were also 189 crashes resulting in injuries.
Speeding is also an issue along Route 360, with state troopers determining that speed was a factor in 52 crashes, three of which were fatal.
Virginia State Police partnered with additional law enforcement agencies last May to do targeted enforcement along Route 58 from Emporia to Danville. There was also an enforcement effort last August along Route 460 from Petersburg to Christiansburg.
