The Tennessee Highway Patrol is set to conduct sobriety checkpoints on March 20, 2026, across several counties in Middle Tennessee. These checkpoints aim to enhance road safety and deter impaired driving, making local roads safer for all residents.
In Hickman County, the checkpoint will be located on State Route 48 North at mile marker 26.4. In Maury County, the checkpoint will be positioned on State Route 50 East, specifically 0.2 miles east of mile marker 19. Additionally, in Lawrence County, the checkpoint will be established on US Highway 43 South at mile marker 2.9. Finally, in Giles County, the checkpoint will be found on State Route 11 at mile marker 13.1.
Motorists traveling in these areas should be prepared for possible delays as they approach the checkpoints. The Tennessee Highway Patrol has not specified the exact times for when these checkpoints will be operational, nor has it provided contact information for further inquiries.
Drivers are reminded to drive safely and remain vigilant while navigating through these checkpoints. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure public safety on the roads, particularly concerning impaired driving. The checkpoints serve as a reminder for all motorists to adhere to traffic laws and to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
As the date approaches, drivers are advised to plan their routes accordingly to minimize any inconvenience caused by the checkpoints. The Tennessee Highway Patrol encourages all drivers to be responsible and prioritize safety while traveling.
