KSP issues traffic safety checkpoints in local counties

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – The Kentucky State Police would like to remind the public of traffic safety checkpoints.

KSP says the checkpoints help promote safety on the roadway when police periodically concentrate on checking for law violations.

KSP Post 3 serves Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Logan, Simpson and Warren counties.

In these areas, authorities say the intent of the checkpoint is to provide for a high visibility, public safety service, focusing on operator impairment, vehicular equipment deficiencies (confirming appropriate registration and insurance of vehicles) and the valid licensing of drivers. Other violations of law and/or other public safety issues that arise will be addressed.

KSP says it will saturate known problem areas with general patrol. For a full list of these areas, click here.
