Marietta program to encourage safer driving
The Marietta Police Department’s “Slow Down Marietta,” is a proactive effort to remind drivers to slow down, wear a seatbelt and obey traffic laws.
Two months in the making, the program has a dual concept of education and enforcement. The first week, message boards, speed trailers and the “Cop Cab” will be placed around the city to remind and educate drivers on the importance of obeying traffic laws. Officers will then actively enforce traffic laws. Andria Simmons
