Where will KSP troopers conduct traffic safety checkpoints ahead of July 4th?

FRANKFORT, Ky. ( FOX 56 ) — Are you ready for some fun this Fourth of July weekend? Kentucky State Police (KSP) are preparing to help keep people safe along the way.

KSP will conduct safety traffic checkpoints in various areas across the state to start the month of July. Post 12 monitors Shelby, Spencer, Franklin, Anderson, Scott, Woodford, and Fayette counties.

Make sure to wear your seat belt!

Deputies use these monthly checkpoints to enhance the enforcement of traffic safety laws in Kentucky, ensuring drivers wear their seatbelts and stay sober on the highways.

Troopers and deputies will also pay special attention to driver’s licenses, insurance, and registration, so make sure your documents are up-to-date before hitting the road.

Drivers who encounter a traffic safety checkpoint will be requested to present their license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. KSP said drivers with this information readily available who have not violated any laws should expect a short delay of 30 seconds to one minute at a checkpoint.
