The checkpoint was authorized by a Hillsborough County Superior Court judge and will be conducted under guidelines formulated by the state Attorney General's office, police said.

"The New Hampshire State Police and the Nashua Police consider the identification and apprehension of impaired drivers and enforcement of the Driving While Intoxicated statutes to be a top priority," state police Sergeant Steve Callinan said in a statement. "Sobriety checkpoints are one of the best methods of deterring the impaired driver."
