The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced the results of a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) held during the late evening hours of Friday, March 18th, and early morning hours of Saturday, March 19th. The detail was conducted in Clay County, by ISP District 12 officers.
Alcohol is involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to remove alcohol-impaired drivers. However, when other violations are observed, such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, safety belt violations, or operating a vehicle without a valid registration or insurance; enforcement action may be taken. The following citations were issued at the safety check:
| Violations | Enforcement Activity |
| Registration offenses | 0 |
| Driver’s license offenses | 4 |
| Occupant restraint offenses | 1 |
| Driving under the influence arrests | 0 |
| Other alcohol/drug arrests | 5 |
| Total citations/arrests | 12 |
| Total written warnings | 12 |
This project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Transportation Safety.
