PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On Wednesday, March 20, 2024 the Pittsfield Police Dept will partner with other state, county, and local law enforcement agencies over 12 states for the "Highway 20 Speed Enforcement Project."

 

This project was started by the Iowa State Police in an attempt to promote traffic safety and reduce crashes across the 12 states that US 20 runs through.

 

US 20 is the longest highway in the country spanning approximately 3300 miles from Oregon to Massachusetts. 153 of those miles are in Massachusetts and 8 are in Pittsfield via West Housatonic St and South St.

 

Pittsfield Police will be participating in this project and will have additional patrols assigned to US 20 (South St and West Housatonic St) for this Wednesday, March 20, 2024 conducting speed enforcement.
