The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has announced upcoming sobriety checkpoints scheduled for August 28 and 29, 2026. These checkpoints are part of a continuous effort to identify impaired drivers and promote safety on Tennessee roadways.
Checkpoints will be set up in multiple locations across the state. In Marshall County, the checkpoint will be situated on State Route 64, more than four miles east of the 1-mile marker. In Lincoln County, the checkpoint will be located on State Route 50 at the 15.8-mile marker. Additionally, a checkpoint will be established in Giles County on U.S. Highway 31 at the 9.5-mile marker. In Lewis County, the checkpoint will be on Highway 412 West at the 0.9-mile marker.
The THP conducts these sobriety checkpoints to enhance the safety of all motorists. An official statement from the THP underscores the significance of these operations in identifying impaired drivers. Through these checkpoints, the THP aims to decrease the number of alcohol-related incidents on the road.
These checkpoints will act as a proactive measure to deter impaired driving and improve public safety. Motorists are encouraged to be mindful of these checkpoints and to drive responsibly. The THP will also monitor compliance with traffic laws during these operations.
As the dates approach, the THP will provide updates on the specific locations and times of the checkpoints. This initiative reflects ongoing efforts by law enforcement to ensure safe driving conditions throughout Tennessee.
The THP urges all drivers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior they may observe on the road. These checkpoints are part of a broader strategy to ensure that all individuals can travel safely on Tennessee’s highways.
