The Sunday and Monday edition of Operation Air, Land and Speed resulted in 2,195 summonses and arrests.
In addition to the toll road, the increased patrols were working Interstates 85, 77 and 295.
The concentrated patrols are intended to ensure the roads are safe of reckless drivers and that safety belts are snapped.
Since 2006, the patrols have netted 97,897 arrests and summonses. Funding for the enforcement initiative is provided through federal highway safety funding.
