A sobriety checkpoint will be conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police within Beaver County in the upcoming weeks. Motorists that encounter the checkpoint will be stopped briefly  when there is an indication that a driver has consumed alcohol or controlled substances, or committed any other violation of the law, the occupants may be detained for further investigation. Motorists are advised to be aware of their surroundings and to have their license, registrations and insurance cards readily available. Motorists are also encouraged to drive sober or get a designated river, along with using their seatbelts. Primary emphasis will be on driving under the influence violations, but all laws will be enforced. Motorists are also reminded of the steer clear law, which states that motorists must move over to lane furthest away from stopped emergency vehicles and/or slow down if it is not possible to move over.
