People frequently ask me, “why do you post the locations of DUI checkpoints?”
After finding out that there are 20% less collisions due to locations being posted, and since Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) supports and encourages the media to post the locations it was a no brainer. Though it seems counter intuitive to let people know where they are, turns out that publicizing the locations of checkpoints is a major deterrent on drinking and driving. By bring about more awareness, it encourages party goers to use sober designated drivers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent.
