US EditionHPD to Conduct Fourth of July DUI Checkpoints
- Law enforcement agencies will conduct DUI checkpoints and increased traffic enforcement during the Fourth of July holiday weekend across multiple states.
- The campaign responds to historically high impaired-driving fatalities in July and aims to prevent accidents by cracking down on impaired drivers and other traffic violations.
- Authorities emphasize sober driving, using designated drivers, obeying traffic laws including Texas's Move Over law, and boating safety through programs like Operation Dry Water running July 4-7.
- "If you drive impaired, you’re putting yourself and others at risk," said safety officials, while Texas DPS arrested 212 for DWI and issued over 59,500 citations last year during this period.
- The increased enforcement aims to reduce impaired-driving fatalities, which already declined 15% this year, and encourage safer holiday travel on roads and waterways.
