The Tennessee Highway Patrol will conduct sobriety checkpoints on Friday, February 13, at various locations across Middle Tennessee. These checkpoints are part of an ongoing initiative aimed at enhancing road safety and deterring impaired driving.
Checkpoints will be established in four specific areas. In Lawrence County, the checkpoint will be located on U.S. Highway 43 North at mile marker 23.4. In Marshall County, drivers can expect a checkpoint on State Route 99 at mile marker 7. Lincoln County will have a checkpoint on U.S. Highway 64 at mile marker 15.7, also known as Wilson Parkway. Finally, in Lewis County, the checkpoint will be situated on U.S. Highway 412 West at mile marker 0.9.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol has issued an official statement urging drivers to plan accordingly and drive sober. This reminder underscores the significance of responsible driving, particularly when checkpoints are in effect.
The checkpoints aim to identify and deter drivers who may be operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Through these measures, the Tennessee Highway Patrol seeks to enhance public safety, which is part of a broader initiative to reduce traffic-related incidents.
As the date approaches, motorists in the affected areas are encouraged to be mindful of the checkpoints and to adhere to traffic laws. The Tennessee Highway Patrol’s commitment to road safety remains a priority, and these checkpoints represent a proactive step in that direction.
Drivers should remember that sobriety checkpoints are a legal and effective tool used by law enforcement to promote safe driving practices. The Tennessee Highway Patrol will continue to monitor and enforce traffic laws to ensure the safety of all road users.
