Beginning July 13, 2026, state and local law enforcement agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee will join forces for a week-long high-visibility enforcement and awareness campaign to reduce fatalities and serious injuries by encouraging motorists to obey speed limits on roadways ranging from local streets to interstate highways. This initiative is called “Operation Southern Slow Down” and will run from July 13 through July 18, 2026.

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Deputies will be taking part in Operation Southern Slow Down, partnering with law enforcement agencies throughout Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Operation Southern Slow Down will focus on the busy summertime travel period, when injury and fatal crashes increase significantly. The high-visibility enforcement and awareness campaign will occur on all major roadways within Palm Beach County and will work to reduce fatalities and serious injuries by encouraging motorists to obey speed limits. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding has been a factor in nearly one-third of all traffic deaths in the United States.
