MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) -

Kentucky State Police (KSP) will conduct traffic safety checkpoints throughout the Post 1 District, to see if drivers are obeying the laws and are not driving under the influence.

The Post 1 District includes the following Kentucky counties: Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, McCracken, Marshall and Trigg.

State police say drivers entering a traffic safety checkpoint will be asked to have their operator's license, vehicle registration receipt and proof of insurance ready.

Police say drivers with this information in hand including those with no violations can expect to be delayed for no more than 30 seconds to a few minutes.
