The Lehigh Valley Regional DUI Task Force will conduct sobriety checkpoints on March 29th in Upper Macungie Township and April 5th in the City of Allentown.
A sobriety checkpoint is a traffic safety checkpoint wherein police systematically stop vehicles at selected locations to briefly observe drivers for signs and/or behaviors normally associated with drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs.
The sobriety checkpoint is intended to reduce serious injury and fatal crashes caused by impaired drivers and to reduce the number of intoxicated drivers travelling on Pennsylvania highways.
