19th Ave in front of SFSU -- traffic is terrible, stay away.



anyone else have one near them?

 

at least you arent posting up telling people to be careful... cuz they shouldn be out drinking and driving anyway

 

South city, and woodside rd. And Churchill in redwood city

 

Just got back, stuck in that SFSU traffic on 19th! I decided to cut thru Stonestown out the back by Westlake! Glad I did!

 

I don't get why they advertise where they'll be. Do they have to?

 

LOL I remember earlier in the Summer Redwood City PD had a DUI checkpoint at 6PM! I'm just like... lol

 

drunks will drink at any hour and at 6pm that's right after happy hour.

having been hit by a drunk driver I am glad they do this.
+Million to them!!!!!

 

Didnt see any between Berkeley & San Ramon/Pleasanton, just a few solo units patrolling as usual.

 

i guess i see the irony...your username is an alcoholic beverage, on a car oriented website.

i would hope people would not drink and drive anyway, however i would think people would like to be aware of the traffic problems caused by them. as they wouldnt be drinking and driving anyway, i would be happy if someone told me where to avoid while out cruising on a friday or saturday night.

but i digress...
i have had a friend go through a DUI checkpoint at 9am, on el camino in atherton/redwood city and get arrested, from drinking the night before.

 

yes they have to say they are doing them. but they are not required to publicly advertise where.

where is STI RUSH with the info on this. he is the wiser...

 

I don't get it then, why tell the Chronicle and other news outlets....I thought they want to catch drunks.

I think a severe beating and a few broken ankles on the side of the road is a better DUI deterrent than some fines and community service.

 

i thought that DUI checkpoints closed at like 11pm or something like that? i've never seen or ran into one after midnight.. it would make sense for them to stay open until at least 3am so the "club crowd" gets checked.

 

they had one yesterday in San Pablo ave San Pab

 

Ug... I hate checkpoints.

 

Friday night they were running past midnight. Out here in Palo Alto they have been know to do checkpoints up until 3 am. On major holidays I have seen them even camp out close to the bars and on foot so they catch you before you even start your car.
