Crash Responders Safety Week

Governor Bill Lee has issued a proclamation in support of the national effort to raise awareness of the critical role motorists play in keeping first responders safe as they perform their duties on our highways. This year’s theme for Crash Responders Safety Week is “Responders Ahead! Reduce your speed as you proceed.”

Governor Lee Proclaims November 18^th through 22^nd… Crash Responder Safety Week in Tennessee.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation HELP Truck drivers are often the first to respond to incidents on our state’s busiest roadways to minimize traffic congestion and the risk of secondary crashes with safe, quick clearance.

This week presents a vital opportunity for both individual and collective action to enhance roadway safety during traffic incidents. We share the important goal and responsibility of ensuring safe roads for all. Let us honor and protect those who protect you by adhering to the law: please move over and slow down.
