By carrying out these checks, the THP aims to deter impaired driving and reduce accidents related to alcohol consumption.
These checkpoints are part of a broader initiative to ensure the safety of all motorists in Tennessee. The locations and times for the checkpoints have been strategically selected to maximize their effectiveness.
