The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has announced that sobriety checkpoints will take place on November 13, 2026, as part of a continued effort to identify impaired drivers and promote safe travel on Tennessee roadways.
Three specific locations have been designated for these checkpoints. In Lewis County, the checkpoint will be set up on U.S. Highway 412 West at the 0.9-mile marker. In Moore County, it will be located on State Route 55 at the 2-mile marker. Lastly, in Giles County, the checkpoint will be positioned on State Route 11 at the 13.1-mile marker.
The THP conducts these sobriety checkpoints as a proactive measure to enhance road safety. The official statement from the THP emphasizes the importance of these checkpoints in identifying impaired drivers, which is crucial for reducing accidents and ensuring the safety of all road users.
Drivers passing through these areas should be prepared for potential stops on the specified date. The THP encourages compliance with all traffic laws and regulations during this time.
This initiative reflects the THP’s commitment to maintaining safe roadways throughout Tennessee. By conducting these checkpoints, the THP aims to deter impaired driving and promote responsible behavior among motorists.
As the date approaches, the THP will continue to inform the public about the significance of sober driving and the role these checkpoints play in enhancing community safety. The checkpoints serve as a reminder for all drivers to remain vigilant and responsible while on the road.
In summary, the Tennessee Highway Patrol will conduct sobriety checkpoints on November 13, 2026, at three locations across Lewis, Moore, and Giles counties. These efforts are part of the THP’s ongoing commitment to road safety and the identification of impaired drivers.
