Throughout the month, Troopers from the Mayfield Kentucky State Police Post
conducted traffic safety checkpoints in the Post 1 District. KSP utilizes
traffic safety checkpoints to promote safety for motorists and to provide a
deterrent for those who violate laws contained in the Kentucky Revised
Statutes.
The intent of a traffic safety checkpoint is to provide a highly visible,
public safety service focusing on vehicular equipment deficiencies,
confirming appropriate registration and insurance of vehicles, and the valid
licensing of drivers. Violations of law or other public safety issues that
arise shall be addressed.
For traffic safety checkpoint locations in your area, you may refer to the

and two pedestrians were struck and killed.
