The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) has revealed plans for sobriety checkpoints set to take place on Friday, August 1, 2025, as part of an ongoing commitment to enhance road safety and curb impaired driving incidents.
The first of these checkpoints will be established in Lincoln County along State Route 50, specifically near the 15.8-mile marker. In addition, a second checkpoint is scheduled for the same day in Giles County, positioned on U.S. Highway 31 close to the 9.5-mile marker.
These initiatives are integral to THP’s broader statewide strategy aimed at decreasing the number of crashes associated with alcohol and drugs by actively discouraging impaired driving. Motorists who pass through these designated areas should be prepared for a brief stop, during which officers will assess drivers for any signs of intoxication.
The THP urges all drivers to prioritize safety by ensuring they are sober and fully alert while operating their vehicles.
