Slow down.
That's the message Fairfax County Police will be giving when they launch a "50 Means 50" campaign along Fairfax County Parkway on Sunday.
This campaign will target aggressive and reckless driving; including speeding, texting while driving, following too closely, and failure to pay full time and attention on the Fairfax County Parkway, which runs through Reston.
Motor squad officers along with patrol officers from several district stations throughout the county and Virginia State Troopers will be assigned specific enforcement duties along the parkway.
Officers will be in a variety of vehicles, including motorcycles, Mustangs, Camaros, Impalas, pick-up trucks and other unmarked and marked police vehicles.
The stepped-up enforcement will take place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until its conclusion on April 30.
The intent of the initiative is to reduce the overall average speed on the parkway and to reduce the number of property damage, injury, and fatal crashes, making the parkway a safer place for all., Fairfax County Police said.
