Lower Merion Police Plan Impaired Driving Checkpoints

Lower Merion Township Police announced Wednesday that they will be conducting impaired driving checkpoints and roving township patrols Friday, Sept. 12, through Sunday, Sept. 14.

The checkpoints and patrols are part of a larger national effort called “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

Township police officers will be stopping vehicles “at a selected location to determine whether motorists are operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances,” the township said. It did not say where the checkpoints will be.

The checkpoints are funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

There will also be roving DUI checkpoints this weekend, Sept. 5 through Sept. 7, the township said.
