NH State Police Issue 49 Out-of-Service Orders in Brake Safety Crackdown

Key Details New Hampshire State Police Troop G conducted Operation Airbrake on April 14, 2026, focusing on commercial vehicle brake safety at weigh stations on I-93 in Windham and Route 101 in Epping. The inspection effort resulted in 49 out-of-service orders issued to drivers and vehicles with brake system violations. Why It Matters Faulty braking systems are a leading cause of commercial vehicle crashes on highways. The operation aimed to reduce these accidents through roadside inspections and education for drivers, mechanics, and owner-operators on proper brake maintenance and operation. What's Next Operation Airbrake is a Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance campaign that has been running since 1988. Troop G will continue enforcement efforts on New Hampshire roads, and the CVSA has scheduled Brake Safety Week for August 23-29, 2026 across North America. Drivers should expect continued inspection and compliance checks throughout the year.
