Connecticut state troopers are joining all state police agencies across the country in concentrating on enforcement of DUI and safety belt laws during the entire Memorial Day holiday weekend. As part of the National C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) program, troopers will concentrate enforcement on all hazardous moving violations, seatbelt use and illegal cell phone use. Sobriety checkpoints will be set up at several locations throughout the state over the holiday weekend. [See the list here — none of the locations on the list are near Darien.]

Connecticut state troopers are preparing for increased traffic during this Memorial Day weekend and for summer 2016 celebrations and vacations. State troopers ask all drivers to utilize courteous driving skills, plan for traffic delays and make safety their top priority whenever they get behind the wheel.  These actions will ensure safe travel to and from destinations.
