The New Jersey State Police announced a sobriety checkpoint will be set up on the Garden State Parkway on March 7 \u2013 the same day as the Seaside Heights St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade.<\/p>\n

Troopers will man a checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Monmouth County, according to the announcement. Vehicles traveling on Parkway may be stopped between the hours of 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre we losing the element of surprise by sending out this message ahead of time?\u201d the statement said. \u201cMaybe, but people who choose to drive after drinking already know how expensive, life-changing, and deadly such a decision can be.\u00a0 But they do it anyway in total disregard for their safety and the safety of everyone else on the road.\u00a0 We\u2019re assuming that their poor judgment will not impede our ability to take drunk drivers off the road just because of a little advance warning.\u201d<\/p>\n

State Police said they are urging motorists who see a driver posing a hazard on the road to dial #77 from a hands-free mobile phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe ready to give a description of the vehicle and occupants, a location and direction, and a license plate if possible,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe better the info, the better our chances of stopping the vehicle, BUT, do not get too close to the vehicle just to get this information. Your safety is more important to us than getting a perfect description.\u201d<\/p>\n
