During the period from September 1978 to March 1981 the Connecticut State Police Department participated in a demonstration project to determine the relationship between patrol level (units deployed) and motorists' compliance with the speed limit on segments of interstate highways. Phase I of the project was a pilot test of the instrumentation and procedures to be employed while Phase II involved the systematic deployment of one, two, four or six patrol units on four different highway segments. Automatic recording devices were used to continuously record the speeds of vehicles passing through the segments. The results of the study indicated that increased enforcement significantly reduced the proportion of motorists exceeding 60 mph, that more arrests per trooper were made during the increased enforcement deployments, and that fine revenues more than offset the costs of the increased patrols.
