The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has revealed plans for two sobriety checkpoints set to take place on Friday, August 8. This initiative is part of the agency’s ongoing commitment to reduce impaired driving and enhance safety on the roads.
The designated locations for these checkpoints include Lincoln County, specifically on U.S. Highway 64 at the 15.7 mile marker near Wilson Parkway, and Lawrence County, where the checkpoint will be situated on State Route 98 at the 5.5 mile marker.
During these checkpoints, THP troopers will be actively monitoring drivers for any signs of impairment. They will also verify that drivers possess valid licenses and are adhering to safety regulations. The selection of these specific locations was informed by an analysis of crash statistics and incidents related to driving under the influence in those regions.
Motorists passing through these checkpoints are encouraged to exercise caution, remain patient in the event of minor delays, and, most importantly, to avoid driving while impaired.
