The posted speed limit is there for dry, ideal road conditions. If it’s wet, snowy, or icy, drivers should be going under the speed limit. Speeding contributed to over 21,000 crashes between 2021-2023. tntrafficsafety.org/speeding #SlowDownTN

Refreeze alert! With freezing temperatures expected tonight into Tuesday morning, roads that appear wet may actually be icy. Motorists should use extra caution when approaching bridges, overpasses, highway ramps and shady areas where ice can form first.
