Coopertown, Tennessee – Coopertown Police Department is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) for “Slow Down Tennessee.” During April 14 – 28, Coopertown Police will increase education, awareness, and enforcement efforts to help reduce speeding-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities statewide.
Following a deadly motor vehicle collision on I-24 in March, Coopertown Police are stepping up traffic enforcement measures to help minimize traffic crashes and encourage safer driving behaviors. The agency will also frequently post educational information on the department’s social media, explaining the dangers of speeding.
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.
