(Mount Sterling Ky) The Mount Sterling Police Department/Montgomery County Sheriffs Department will be conducting traffic safety blitzes through Monday June 1st during the “Click it or Ticket” campaign.

The Mount Sterling PD will also be taking part in the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” National Highway Safety Campaign. These checkpoints will be at designated areas on highways where statistics have shown an elevated number of vehicle crashes.

During the checkpoints/blitzes officers will be enforcing laws related to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, licensing of motor vehicles and operators, registration and insurance violations, seat belt and child restraint violations, and motor vehicle equipment violations.

A traffic "blitz" is what is referred to as high targeted enforcement for traffic violations.
The traffic safety checkpoints would be conducted at various locations in Montgomery County/ City of Mount Sterling to include US 460, Indian Mound Drive Ky 686, Route 11, Indian Mound Drive-713, US 60.

Traffic Safety Checkpoints are a valuable tool used to promote the safety and well-being of the public as well as providing police with visibility and interaction with the community. Checkpoints are utilized throughout the Commonwealth to help promote highway safety.

According to NHTSA, despite the low traffic volume, fatal crashes are three times higher nationwide at nighttime versus daytime.

Also, according to NHTSA, when worn correctly, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45 percent for front-seat vehicle occupants and by 60 percent for pickup truck, SUV and minivan occupants.

Additionally, child seats are 71 percent effective in reducing infant deaths, 54 percent effective in reducing toddler deaths and 67 percent effective in reducing the need for hospitalization. For older children, the use of belt-positioning booster seats lowers the risk of injury to children in crashes by 59 percent compared with the use of vehicle seat belts.
