HENDERSON, Ky. — The Kentucky State Police offers periodic reminders to drivers who travel Kentucky roadways. The KSP strives daily to ensure the safety of the motoring public.

A traffic safety checkpoint intends to provide high-visibility public safety service, focusing on operator impairment and vehicular equipment deficiencies, confirming appropriate vehicle registration and insurance, and validly licensing drivers. Other violations of law or other public safety issues arising will be addressed.
These checkpoints will allow the KSP to concentrate its efforts on checking for violations of Kentucky traffic and regulatory laws, which will ultimately increase the safety of the commonwealth’s citizens.
