STATEWIDE, N.D. (VisionZero) – Law enforcement agencies across the state participated in the Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign from Nov. 1 to Dec. 12, 2024 to help save lives on North Dakota roads.

A total of 3,587 citations were attributed to the overtime enforcement patrols. Of the total citations, 2,382 were citations for failure to wear a seat belt and 34 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 384. The traffic stops also resulted in 353 other traffic citations (i.e. disobeying traffic signals, equipment violations), 120 uninsured motorists, 121 suspended/revoked license violations, 10 drug arrests, 18 citations for distracted driving, 14 warrants served and five driving under the influence (DUI) arrests.

Preliminary data for 2024 shows that 46% of motor vehicle fatalities where seat belts were present in the vehicle were not buckled. Seat belts are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash.

High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to help meet the state’s goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
