The Fort Myers Police Department will be conducting DUI checkpoints this weekend, May 20-22. The location, as always, is undisclosed, but it will be within the city limits of Fort Myers. The city limits of Fort Myers is depicted in the map below. The beige or yellow area is the city limits of Fort Myers. Anywhere in that area, Fort Myers Police will be setting up a checkpoint. If you've had a couple of drinks, take a taxi home; don't drive. Call a friend. Typically a checkpoint will be visible, and there will be a final turnoff before entering the checkpoint. However, usually the turnoff street will have unmarked police cars waiting to observe someone avoiding the checkpoint and looking for indicators of impairment. Some indicators of impairment law enforcement will be looking for are failing to maintain a single lane of traffic (swerving), speeding, erratic driving pattern, and faulty equipment on your vehicle (tag light out) are all valid reasons for law enforcement to pull you over.
