As students prepare to head back to school on Monday, the Tennessee District Attorney General’s Conference is issuing an important reminder to drivers regarding safety in school zones. The use of cellphones while operating a vehicle in these designated areas is explicitly banned under Tennessee Codes Annotated. This regulation aims to ensure the safety of children as they arrive and depart from school.
Motorists should be aware that local law enforcement will be actively monitoring school zones to enforce this prohibition. Officers will be on the lookout for any violations, emphasizing the importance of adhering to this law for the protection of students. It is crucial for drivers to remain vigilant and focused while navigating through these areas to help maintain a safe environment for everyone.
