Tennessee’s beautiful backroads are meant to be shared, not raced on. #SlowDownTN

Speeding endangers not only the life driver, but everyone else on the road. If you’re one of the biggest and fastest, you also have to be the safest. #SlowDownTN Learn more: tntrafficsafety.org/speeding

Yes, it’s true. Speeding catches up with you. From 2020-2022 there were 22,188 speeding-related crashes in Tennessee. #SlowDownTN

A first responder’s “office” changes all the time. Keep their workspace safe, especially when it’s on the side of the road. Always #MoveOver when you see flashing lights. Learn more: tntrafficsafety.org/speeding

Speeding may seem tempting, but the consequences are real. Choose safety over regrets. #SlowDownTN

Speeding is more than just breaking the law. It wastes more gas, lowers vehicle control, reduces the effectiveness of seat belts, and puts everyone on the road in danger. #SlowDownTN Learn more: tntrafficsafety.org/speeding

Speeding can leave a trail of destruction, just look at the damage. #SlowDownTN

Tennessee’s beautiful backroads are meant to be shared, not raced on. Speeding caused 13,653 crashes in Tennessee from 2022-2023. #SlowDownTN Learn more: tntrafficsafety.org/speeding

Protect those who protect you. #MoveOver to protect emergency personnel.

When you’re driving and see flashing lights on the side of the road, #MoveOver to the opposite lane so first responders and roadside crews can work safely. 🚒 🚑 🚓 🚧

We at the Police Department want to commend our outstanding community members for their support!

This type of mutual cooperation and partnership with our community is what makes Clinton such a great place to live, work, shop, and play! We are asking once again for your help in identifying two suspects who have no respect for other people's property.

Again, Thank You for taking an active role in the safety and security of your city! #ServiceBeforeSelf
