You've been warned

Lead foots and party people beware: The Lexington County Sheriff's Department and the state Highway Patrol announce they will begin a joint week-long crackdown beginning July 14 aimed at speeders, as well as reckless and drunken drivers.

In a just-released public advisory, Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts says deputies and state Highway Patrol troopers "will concentrate on specific offenses or on problem areas identified by patrol observations, complaints from citizens and statistics concerning traffic collisions. Motorists should be aware of this increased activity and should exercise caution when traveling in these areas."

While Metts says deputies and troopers will take a special focus on problem areas, he notes that both agencies routinely cooperate to enhance traffic safety in the county through scheduled and unscheduled traffic safety checkpoints and patrols.

The roadways targeted in the crackdown include: Beverly Drive, Cardinal Drive, St. Andrews Road, Old Barnwell Road, Irmo Drive, Ball Park Road, Kyzer Road, Gator Road, Beechcreek Road, and Pleasant View Drive.
