The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has revealed plans for three sobriety checkpoints set to take place on Friday, August 15. 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 Lawrence County, where officers will be positioned on U.S. Highway 43 North at the 23.4 mile marker. In Maury County, the checkpoint will be set up on State Route 50 East, just 0.2 miles east of the 19 mile marker. Additionally, in Moore County, THP will conduct a checkpoint on State Route 55 at the 2 mile marker.
During these checkpoints, troopers will be vigilant in screening 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 analysis of crash statistics and incidents related to driving under the influence in those areas.
Motorists who find themselves traveling through these checkpoints are encouraged to exercise caution, remain patient during any temporary delays, and, most importantly, to avoid driving while impaired.
