Lemon Grove will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoint on January 1st, at the 6900 block of Broadway, according to the San Diego Sheriff’s Department press release.
The checkpoint is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. OTS deemed 2010 to be the “Year of the Checkpoint.” They funded 44% more DUI checkpoints in 2010 then they did in 2009; however, according to californiaavoid.com, to date, DUI arrests in San Diego are down from 2009.
