On Friday, April 14, the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) will join public safety partners statewide to launch Slow Down Tennessee. From April 14 – 28, participating agencies will help increase awareness and enforcement to reduce speeding-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities across Tennessee. From 2018 to 2022, there were 36,870 speed-related crashes statewide.
Everyone is encouraged to participate by requesting “Slow Down Tennessee” yard signs from the THSO for display in local areas. You get get your sign by emailing info@tntrafficsafety.org. Yard signs will be distributed on a first come, first served basis until the supply runs out.
Teenagers can join in on the Slow Down Tennessee campaign through the THSO’s Reduce TN Crashes program. To participate, students can request a personalized “Slow Down” graphic including their school mascot by emailing info@reducetncrashes.org. Once students receive the graphics, they can post to social media, share via email, display digitally on school message boards, or display digitally on outdoor message boards.
