FHP Plans Checkpoints
May 14, 2008
The Florida Highway Patrol will be conducting driver license and vehicle inspection checkpoints this week in Escambia County at the locations listed below.
Checkpoints will be setup on:
- State Road 97 northern Escambia County
- Johnson Avenue east of Davis Highway
- Massachusetts Avenue west of Hollywood Blvd.
- Tonawanda Drive east of 61st Avenue
- Border Street at SR10A overpass
- Avery Street west of “W” Street
- Hancock Road east of Old Palafox Highway
- Pipeline Road south of Rambler Drive
- Jernigan Road south of Nine Mile Road

Recognizing the danger presented to the public by defective vehicle equipment, troopers will concentrate their efforts on vehicles being operated with defects such as bad brakes, worn tires and defective lighting equipment. In addition, attention will be directed to drivers who would violate the driver license laws of Florida.
The patrol has found these checkpoints to be an effective means of enforcing the equipment and driver license laws of Florida while ensuring the protection of all motorists.
