Tenn., Ky. collaborate on checkpoint to promote safety
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office is teaming up with law enforcement agencies across Tennessee and Kentucky to try to reduce roadway fatalities.
Representatives from both states will hold an event at 10 a.m. Friday in Clarksville, Tennessee, to announce a roadside checkpoint along the state line.
The checkpoint will take place from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. along Fort Campbell Boulevard.
Safety advocates created the Hands Across the Border campaign in 1991 to bring about more awareness of seat belt and child safety seat use across the southeastern states.
This year, the checkpoint will take place during the national Click It or Ticket mobilization.
