West Hollywood officials are putting the word out that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Traffic Services Detail will be conducting a DUI checkpoint in the city on Saturday from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

In addition to removing intoxicated drivers from the roads, a focus of publicizing DUI checkpoints in advance is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers, officials added.

LASD officials noted that even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk — or worse, the risk of having a crash while driving. They asked that if people are drinking that those people plan ahead and designate a sober driver before the party begins. Officials suggested that if you have been drinking, take advantage of public transportation, Uber or taxi services.

If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone’s life, and inaction could cost a life, officials added.
