Here are three school zone-related laws that all Tennessee drivers should know.
Safety in the School Zones
Crossing guards dictate the right of way.Even if you have a green light or otherwise would have the right of way at an intersection, the crossing guard (if present) dictates when you’re allowed to proceed.
Speed limits are strictly enforced and can vary from school to school.Never assume that all school zones have the same speed limit. All schools and school districts set their own speed limits, and they can range from 5 mph on campuses to 30 mph on adjacent roads.
School safety zones encompass 500 feet around school property. Previously, this area was 1,000 feet around school property, but the law was changed in 2020. Fines and penalties for certain crimes, including drug crimes, are increased when they occur inside school safety zones

Ponce Law Goes to the Ball Game
It has been a long tradition at Ponce Law to go to the see the Nashville Sounds with our team and their families every year. The weather was hot this month but it is always exciting to see the game through a child's eyes as they take it all in. Plus the fireworks after the game are always a bonus.
