The Honolulu Police Department will set up impaired driver checkpoints at unannounced times and locations from Friday, March 1 through Tuesday, April 30.
The checkpoints are part of the police department’s ongoing effort to reduce traffic injuries and deaths.
HPD wants to remind the public that the legal drinking age is 21, and that motorists are urged not to drink and drive.
As of February 2013, 12 people, including seven pedestrians, were killed in traffic collisions on Oahu.
Police say one of those fatalities involved speed and one involved drugs.
During the same period in 2012, eight people were killed.
Officers have been conducting impaired driver checkpoints every week from October 2012 and will continue to do so through September 2013 as part of the federal "52/12" sobriety checkpoint program.
