Let's applaud the Gallatin Police Department for their continuing efforts to make Gallatin Real Estate a safer place to live.
No, we didn't like those traffic cameras that Gallatin officials placed at interesections around town. But, it's reported that traffic accidents are down a whopping 40% at those intersections. And the cameras are considered one of the reasons for this accident reduction. Actually, traffic accidents are down 25% in Gallatin as a whole.
This traffic-light camera program is violator-driven and paid for by the fines imposed on the violator. However, the fine of $50 is less than the $105 they would have paid if pulled over by an officer. Currently, these cameras are installed at the intersections of: Maple & Nashville Pike; Belvedere & Nashville Pike; Big Station Camp Blvd. & Nashville Pike and Airport Road & State Highway 109.
The Gallatin Police Department has placed first in the state for overall traffic enforcement in a category of agencies with 51-100 officers.
As always, please contact me for more information about Gallatin Real Estate.
