Clarksville Police Department
Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Police Department traffic units was out in force today for the first day of school and made a couple of observations which drivers might want to pay more attention to.
Traffic was very congested in the school zones as drivers were adjusting to the school zones being active. There were many drivers who were not operating their phones “hands-free” in the school zones when the lights were flashing.
Also, there were quite a few traffic stops because drivers were texting and driving.
Additionally, some drivers, were not paying attention to the crossing guards in the roadway as they were trying to stop traffic to allow students to cross safely to the schools. There were very few complaints of school bus violations.
Clarksville Police will continue to place emphasis on the school zones in the upcoming days.
