The Franklin County DUI Task Force will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint Friday night.
Task force members will be set up in the area of Cemetery Road and Lacon Road in Hilliard (Click for Map) from 8:00 p.m. until approximately 12:30 a.m.
The task force says it wants to impress upon those who will be consuming alcohol to plan for a designated driver or make other arrangements.
Guidelines issued by the NHTSA instruct law enforcement to “aggressively” publicize the locations.
The goal, according to the NHTSA, is to not only to deter impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel, but also to assure the protection of constitutional rights for both police and the public.
