BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Florida Highway Patrol on a new enforcement campaign aimed at cracking down on speeding along Interstate 95 — and officials say drivers should take the message seriously. The initiative, titled “This Is the Only Warning You’re Getting,” was announced during a news conference Monday by Sheriff Wayne Ivey.
Ivey said speed-related crashes continue to be one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on the busy interstate corridor, which runs the length of Brevard County. The new effort will place additional deputies and troopers along high-risk stretches of I-95, focusing on drivers who excessively speed, weave through traffic, or ignore posted limits.
According to the sheriff, the campaign’s name is intentional. Rather than issue repeated cautions, law enforcement plans to move straight to enforcement when violations are observed.
“Our goal isn’t to write tickets — it’s to save lives,” Ivey said, stressing that the initiative is designed to change dangerous driving habits before they end in tragedy. “If you choose to speed on I-95, expect to see blue lights in your rearview mirror. This truly is the only warning you’re getting.”
Florida Highway Patrol leaders echoed the message, noting that speeding increases both the likelihood and severity of crashes, putting not only drivers but also passengers and first responders at risk. Troopers will coordinate patrols with deputies, including periods of heightened enforcement during peak travel times.
In addition to increased patrol visibility, officials said the public will see targeted messaging reminding motorists to slow down, buckle up, and give other drivers space.
The initiative will remain in place through the coming months, with agencies tracking data to determine its impact on crash numbers and roadway safety. Sheriff Ivey urged drivers to do their part by simply obeying the law.
