Do they have road blocks on the interstate?

Question

i know the have alot of road blocks on holidays and i am going to be traveling this holiday and i was wondering if they have road blocks on the interstate??

Answer 1

They very rarely have roadblocks on an interstate, unless there has been an accident, weather related, road construction, or police action, such as robbery suspect they were chasing.  If they are going to have a DUI checkpoint, the local media will have advanced warning of where & when & it will be late in the evening on a state route or major road off of the interstate.  

Answer 2

Not likely ON the interstate, but VERY possible on the streets leading to the onramps and from the off ramps.

But remember, if you plan on drinking, to keep yourself occupied on a long stretch of interstate, it is your driving behavior that triggers a response from state troopers and highway patrol officers.  All it takes is a little wiggle, within you lane to attract their attention.  Other behaviors set them off, as well, like driving TOO slow, or at uneven speeds, or forgetting to signal a lane chane, or, even, forgetting to turn OFF the signal after the change is complete.  Even if they only suspect there might be a problem is all it takes for them to pull you over, just like a personal, one vehicle road block set up just for you.

Are all of your tail lights, license plate lights and signal lights working?  Once you are on the road, how do you know they are STILL working?

Answer 3

Most likely yes but where do you live ???

You can also find out this information by contacting your (DOT) department of transportation...

Good luck and drive safe.

Answer 4

On the interstate they generally put them on the on or off ramps so you cannot spot it until it is too late to turn around and avoid it. But they generally do not block the high speed traffic lanes for routine DUI checking as it is too dangerous.
