Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Police Department (CPD) is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) to promote “Slow Down Tennessee.” During April 14th-28th, 2023.
Clarksville Police will increase education and enforcement efforts to help reduce speeding-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities statewide.
The public is encouraged to participate by using #SlowDownTN on social media to help spread awareness.
There have been 141 Reckless/Careless driver crashes since the beginning of 2023, one of which resulted in a fatality.
CPD will be conducting High Visibility Engagement with a focus on excessive speed, aggressive, and careless driving on all major thoroughfares.
The State of Tennessee requires motorists to always exercise due care and maintain a safe speed while driving. Speed limits may vary depending on the county and road conditions; therefore, drivers must always pay attention and adhere to posted speed limits to ensure the safety of all roadway users.
