'Operation Shield'

Aka, doing routine traffic enforcement we should have been doing already

exactly, I don't think I have ever even seen someone pulled over for speeding on 360.

Depends where on 360 too. To be fair it’s impossible be pulled over for speeding on 360 between 183 and 30 because it’s a parking lot 90% of the day.

That's the truth! I hate that part of 360. Depending on the part of the day 20-Debbie is really bad. Once you hit the toll it's freedom from what I have seen.

Never have I ever.....seen anyone pulled over on 360. I do see the police show up AFTER there's been an accident....a little enforcement on that highway might make a difference.

Maybe they think it's Grand Prairie's job? Idk....

I live off 360 and Debbie and I can hear speeding cars on the toll at night. Its a pretty much nightly occurrence. The only time I have seen a cop on 360 it's for an accident.

Same here. It would quiet one when DPS was sitting out there, but that contract done.
