Two good driving habits, never too soon. #HandsFreeTN #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

As we close out National Work Zone Awareness Week, know that the leading causes of work zone crashes are distractions, following too closely, and driving too fast. When passing a work zone close to the road, slow down to keep them safe! #NWZAW

This is National Work Zone Awareness Week. Work zones are temporary, but your actions can last forever! During 2023, there were over 2,800 #WorkZone crashes and in 22 of those crashes, people lost their lives! Do your part, and stay focused on driving in the work zones. myTDOT

🔶 In 2023, more work zone crashes happened during daylight hours than at night. However, work zone crashes that happened at night were more likely to result in fatality. #NWZAW 🔶

There’s just no safe way to check notifications when you’re driving. 📵 Keep your focus on the road — distractions are dangerous, even when there are no other vehicles around you. #HandsFreeTN #DoNotDisturb

🔶 Road workers must operate very close to traffic in order to improve safety for everyone. Put your phone down, reduce your speed, pay attention to signs and flaggers, & increase your following distance to help keep road workers safe on the job. #NWZAW 🔶

#MoveOver , not just because it’s the law, but because it’s the right thing to do to protect law enforcement and other first responders. 🚒 🚑 🚓🚧
