Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Police only worked two vehicle crashes in the last twelve hours. Vehicular traffic on city streets was very light overnight. There have been no reported power outages anywhere in the city.
Officers worked only six motorist assists since 6:00pm yesterday. All three community policing districts report very few dispatched calls-for-service of any kind overnight.
District One (North Clarksville) started having problems on street surfaces after 3:00am with the worst areas listed as Tiny Town Road, any street with a hill, and parts of Fort Campbell Boulevard.
District Two reports its most dangerous road conditions as lower Fort Campbell Boulevard and parts of Dover Road. District Three (East Clarksville) officers report streets with hills as difficult to navigate.
Residential subdivisions, largely untouched by salt and plows, are proving difficult to travel. Getting in and out of business parking lots is also still a challenge in District Three, as well as other parts of the city.
Drivers should be aware that yesterdays’ snow melt, while very helpful for daylight travel, resulted in standing water all over that quickly froze as soon as the sun went down. Drivers are particularly cautioned about black ice conditions that they probably won’t even detect until they are slip-sliding away.
It remains to be seen if sunshine will have the same affect today that it did yesterday.
