Kentucky State Police have announced plans to conduct checkpoints in their Post 1 district.
State Police say periodic traffic checkpoints concentrate efforts to check for violations of traffic and regulatory laws that will increase safety for citizens.
Troopers will be focusing on vehicular equipment deficiencies, confirming appropriate registration and insurance, and the valid licensing of drivers.
Troopers will also be on the lookout for motorists who may be operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, along with the use of seat belts and child restraint seats.
The Post 1 district covers the far 11 counties of Western Kentucky.
