The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is joining forces with law enforcement agencies across Nevada for the Joining Forces Speed Awareness Campaign, running from today, January 13th through January 31, 2026. This statewide initiative focuses on high-visibility enforcement, public education, and raising awareness about the dangers of speeding to help keep Nevada roads safe.
Speeding remains a leading factor in traffic crashes and fatalities. It’s not only about exceeding posted speed limits—driving too fast for weather, road, or traffic conditions can be equally dangerous. Speeding increases the likelihood of losing control, extends stopping distance, and can result in severe crashes, injuries, or death. Every second matters when speed is involved.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to reducing the number of fatalities on Nevada’s roads to zero by increasing public awareness about the dangers of speeding, driving unrestrained, impaired driving, distracted driving, and more. For more information about safe driving and the Nevada Zero Fatalities goal, visit ZeroFatalitiesNV.com.
The Nevada Department of Public Safety’s Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provide funding for law enforcement agencies to participate in Joining Forces traffic safety campaigns to reduce traffic deaths.
