This week, law enforcement agencies in Tennessee will be participating in Operation Southern Slow Down, a regional campaign aimed at increasing traffic safety awareness and enforcement on interstates and state highways. The initiative, which also involves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, is a response to the growing number of drivers traveling at speeds well above the legal limit.
Operation Southern Slow Down, which was first launched in 2017, is a week-long joint speed enforcement and education campaign that takes place in the third week of July. The primary objective of the initiative is to reduce crashes and save lives by cracking down on speeding and promoting safe driving practices.
