If you take this route to go home from work, Id advise taking another route as seeing most of these checkpoint cause delay in traffic. Also remember it is always a smart decision to have a designated driver and if you cant find a designated driver to call a taxi, a parking ticket is much cheaper and easier than a DUI.

A DUI sobriety checkpoint is scheduled for Saturday, June 27th, from 9:00pm to 3:00am at an undisclosed location in Oceanside. As all DUI checkpoints, their goal is to limit and or reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roadways to prevent injury accidents and even fatalities.
