The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a sobriety and driver’s license checkpoint on Friday, June 12, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. The checkpoint will take place in the City of San Carlos along El Camino Real.
DUI checkpoint locations are selected based on statistics showing where alcohol or drug related crashes occur most frequently. The purpose of a DUI checkpoint is to promote public safety and increase awareness of the dangers associated with driving while intoxicated and to serve as a deterrent to potential impaired drivers.
Never drive under the influence. If you plan to drink, make arrangements ahead of time such as using a rideshare service, taxi or a designated driver. One good decision can prevent a lifetime of consequences.
This checkpoint is made possible through funding provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety.
