Kentucky State Police (KSP) will be conducting traffic safety checkpoints throughout the Post 1 district, to check motorists for compliance with motor vehicle laws including driving under the influence statutes.
State troopers use these traffic safety checkpoints to promote safety for motorists using public roadways and to provide a deterrent for those who violate laws contained in the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
According to State Police, the intent of a traffic safety checkpoint is to provide for high visibility, public safety service, focusing on vehicular equipment deficiencies, confirming appropriate registration and insurance of vehicles, and the valid licensing of drivers. Violations of law or other public safety issues that arise shall be addressed.
The traffic safety checkpoints also allow Kentucky State Police the opportunity to periodically concentrate its efforts to check for violations of traffic and regulatory laws that will ultimately increase the safety of the citizens within the commonwealth. Drivers who encounter a traffic safety checkpoint should have their operator’s license, vehicle registration receipt, and proof of insurance readily accessible. State Police officials say, drivers who have this information in hand and who have no violations of law, along with minimal roadway congestion, can reasonably expect to be delayed for no more than 30 seconds to a few minutes.
