Law enforcement officers from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and other local law enforcement agencies will conduct a sobriety checkpoint in the park on Friday, December 20, on the Gatlinburg Bypass. The purpose of this sobriety checkpoint is to deter impaired driving, prevent serious or fatal crashes, and increase public awareness of the consequences of driving while under the influence.
At the checkpoint, officers will check motorists for signs of alcohol and or drug impairment.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park reminds motorists to always practice safe driving habits. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, buckle up, reduce distractions, and never drive while under the influence.
