MLL:Lower Merion sobriety checkpoints

Lower Merion's Police Department will be conducting sobriety checkpoints in the Township on Friday evening, July 25 along State Route 30 in the Wynnewood section of the Township. A checkpoint, as well as roving DUI Enforcement Patrols, will be set up along roadways showing a high incidence of impaired driving in the Township.

A sobriety checkpoint is a highly visible, systematic method for stopping vehicles at a selected location to determine whether motorists are operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.

The sobriety checkpoint is being funded by a PennDOT grant and is one of many tools utilized to increase public safety through increased awareness created by high profile enforcement.
