Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 14 have announced plans to conduct traffic safety checkpoints within their coverage area in the coming weeks, including locations inside Carter County. These road checks, the KSP reported will check for issues including impaired drivers, proper child safety seat usage, and as an opportunity to inform the public about the use of seatbelts. The checkpoints, the KSP said, are targeting areas where the police “are experiencing a high ration of vehicular crashes resulting in injury and/or death compared to relatively low safety restraint usage.”
