Motorists are reminded to have their driver’s license and vehicle registrations readily available when entering the checkpoint, so as to minimize the amount of time that they are delayed.

Don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you’ve been consuming alcoholic beverages.

If you are impaired, please call a taxi or call a sober friend or family member to come and get you.
