DUI enforcement on SR-67 San Diego County approaches a new level
CHP kicked off “Arrive Alive” SR-67 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Safety Task Force on March 31 with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety and working in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
Since it's a DUI highway safety corridor, there's 2 goals. One was to sustain a zero for fatal crashes that happen because of a drunk driver. The other was to reduce the number of injury collisions caused by a drunk driver by 5 percent.
That measurement was taken against the 2007 accidents. So far they have met their goals. CHP has conducted three DUI checkpoints on 67, with the first one on June 6, another on Aug. 7, and one on Sept. 4. A fourth CHP kicked off “Arrive Alive” SR-67 DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Safety Task Force on March 31 with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety and working in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
Keeping in mind the grant is for a DUI highway safety corridor, d they had two goals. One was to sustain a zero for fatal crashes that happen because of a drunk driver. The other was to reduce the number of injury collisions caused by a drunk driver by 5 percent.
The CHP has conducted three DUI checkpoints on 67, with the first one on June 6, another on Aug. 7, and one on Sept. 4. A fourth DUI checkpoint will be held this month. During the June 6 checkpoint, at northbound 67, south of Poway Road, 807 vehicles were screened and two DUI arrests were made.
On Aug. 7, at the same location, 719 vehicles were screened and one DUI arrest was made. Of the 400 vehicles stopped Sept. 4 at Main Street in Ramona, five DUI arrests were made.
Noting that it’s the first time they have done checkpoints on Route 67 for this grant DUI checkpoint will be held this month. During the June 6 checkpoint, at northbound 67, south of Poway Road, 807 vehicles were screened and two DUI arrests were made.
