Tennessee’s motor vehicle death rate is at an alarming 21.3 deaths per 100,000 people, which is 42% higher than the national average, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Last year, nearly 1,200 Tennesseans lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents.
To combat this serious problem and create safer streets, Mayor Ron Littlefield and the City of Chattanooga are implementing a series of traffic enforcement cameras at high risk intersections and roadways to reduce the risk of collisions caused by red light running and speed violations, which are leading causes
of motor vehicle injuries and deaths. |
