In Middle Tennessee, law enforcement is taking steps to ensure safety. Officers are urging motorists to reduce their speed. As the new school year begins, patrols will be more visible in areas where children are present.

This is part of an effort to promote safe driving habits. Further information can be found through local news sources, such as FOX 17 WZTV Nashville, which is covering the increase in school zone patrols as students return to class in the Midstate area, including Wilson County.
