Wait. Where?

Haven't seen one of these in a while. Which neighborhood? Perhaps both?

New Orleans, LA – As required by the Louisiana Supreme Court, the New Orleans Police Department is issuing a public advisory regarding a DWI Checkpoint that will be established tomorrow in the Warehouse District.

The New Orleans Police Department’s SOD Traffic Section will operate a DWI Checkpoint on Friday, April 15, 2011, in the Lakeview area, beginning at approximately 9:00 P.M., and concluding approximately 5:00 A.M. Motorists will experience minimal delays and should have proper documentation, i.e., proof of insurance, and a valid driver’s license if requested.

Superintendent of Police Ronal Serpas said, “I would like to remind all drivers to drink responsibly and if going out with friends, make sure someone has agreed beforehand to be the designated driver.”


If you do have to be out drinking, Serpas recommends alternate transportation such as the one the chief demonstrated today. Video below.



Update:
A subsequent NOLAinfo "alert" clarifies that this checkpoint will occur in Lakeview.
