Knoxville Police Lieutenant Aaron Fuller is reminding everyone in Knoxville and around Marion County to be safe on the roads during this holiday weekend.

Fuller says roads will be busier than usual as people make their way to celebrations and eliminating dangerous behaviors can help to limit the chance of a tragedy. He says avoiding texting behind the wheel and drinking and driving and obeying all posted street and road signs will greatly decrease your risk of being involved in an accident. Law enforcement around the county will be paying special attention to road safety this holiday weekend.
