If you have seen white lines popping up all over Greene County roads and thought to yourself, “I wonder what those are for?” then wonder no more.

In an effort to help cut down on speeding and aggressive driving on county roads, Greene County Sheriff Brian Tennant and members of his office are using the lines to enforce the speed limit.

The sheriff’s office currently has two Vascar units installed in their vehicles and stop watches to enforce speeding.

“Both types of devices are commonly used by other law enforcement agencies throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Tennant said.

All three devices have been certified and are currently in service.

“Law enforcement in Greene County is sparse and all agencies do as much as they can, but the fact remains that there are a lot of roads and not enough law enforcement to go around,” Tennant said. “This is an effort by the sheriff’s office to compliment what other agencies are doing and to help ensure our citizens are safe on and around the roadways.”

There are currently numerous lines which the sheriff’s office can utilize for speed monitoring and enforcement throughout the county with plans for more.

“The lines will be from New Freeport to Rices Landing, from Dilliner to Wind Ridge and many points in between,” Tennant added. “We have tried our best to determine where our resources and efforts will be best utilized to help keep Greene County safe.”
