The Suwanee Police Department hopes that a lot of drivers will resolve to drive more safely as we approach the new year. To help ensure that they do, at least within the Suwanee City limits, the police department will implement Suwanee CARES, a traffic enforcement program targeted for Highway 317 from Horizon Drive west to Moore Road. Suwanee CARES, which stands for Suwanee Corridor 317 Accident Reduction and
Enforcement Strategy, will be implemented beginning Wednesday, December 13.
“The 317 corridor accounts for 56 percent of the crashes and injuries that occur in Suwanee,” says Lt. Cass Mooney. “We want to let everyone know that we’re going to be more strictly enforcing the speed limit and other traffic laws this holiday season and through the month of January, particularly along Lawrenceville-Suwanee/Suwanee Dam Road, in an effort to reduce the number of accidents.”
