Making improvements to Tennessee roadways can help reduce the number of traffic fatalities in our state each year. By slowing down in work zones, we can help keep our Tennessee Road Builders safe while they make the roads safer for us. #SlowDownTN
We would like to thank all of the people who visited our booth this year during the Anderson County fair! You made it a fun and successful event, as always. Sergeant Stokes would like to thank all of the help he received from our future police officers! They were able to test their skills with handcuffing, fingerprinting, and identifying suspects in a line up. It was a tough task, but many were up to the challenge.

Based on 2010 Census data, 93% of Tennessee is rural. Roads in rural areas can be especially dangerous due to the lack of streetlights and other safety features, and may have unique hazards that drivers will have to look out for. #SlowDownTN

No parent or caregiver thinks this can happen to them, but dozens of children are forgotten in backseats each year. A reminder could save a life! #CheckTheBackseat

A child’s body temperature rises 3-5 times faster than an adult’s does. Even when parked in the shade, leaving them in a car can be deadly within a short time. Never leave a child behind in a car. @NHTSA

Did you know? Rear end collisions are the number one cause of farm vehicle crashes. It takes less than 10 seconds for a car traveling 55 mph to close the gap on a slow-moving vehicle. When you spot flashing lights or the orange slow-moving vehicle sign, slow down immediately and increase following distance. #ShareTheRoad
Mixing low speeds and high speeds in the same roadway is a recipe for serious crashes. Except in the rare event of an emergency, interstate highways are only for motor vehicles.
