City of West Hollywood and West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station Seek to Curb Drunk Driving

By West Hollywood Lifestyle


The City of West Hollywood is getting the word out that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Traffic Services Detail will be conducting a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Checkpoint in West Hollywood on Friday, January 26, 2018 from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. In addition to removing intoxicated drivers from the roads, a focus of publicizing DUI Checkpoints in advance is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

The West Hollywood Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has the following safety tips:

  • Even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested for driving drunk — or worse, the risk of having a crash while driving.
  • If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Plan ahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins.
  • If you have been drinking, do not drive. Call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member, use public transportation or call one of your local sober ride home programs.
  • Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.
  • If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone’s life, and inaction could cost a life.

One transportation alternative for people enjoying nightlife in West Hollywood is The PickUp, which is a cool, convenient, and free alternative to driving. The PickUp runs on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. and on Sundays from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. along Santa Monica Boulevard in a four-mile loop with 15 stops in each direction between Robertson Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. The PickUp arrives at stops every 15 minutes and features beat mixes by Derek Monteiro. Visit The PickUp online, and follow its Trolley Tracker for real-time arrival and location information, atwww.wehopickup.com.

There are seven franchised taxi companies operating in the City of West Hollywood with approximately 350 vehicles that are authorized to pick up passengers. For a complete up-to-date list of taxi companies, visit www.weho.org/taxi.

For more information, please call the City of West Hollywood’s Public Safety Department at (323) 848-6414. For people who are deaf or hearing impaired, please call TTY (323) 848-6496.
