    Special drunk driving patrols effectively reduced nighttime collisions in Stockton. This study evaluated traditional enforcement methods without innovative tactics like checkpoints, showing positive results for traffic safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Traffic Safety
    • Law Enforcement
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The effectiveness of drunk driving enforcement patrols is often assumed but lacks rigorous evaluation in traffic safety research.
    • Limited studies exist on the impact of traditional drunk driving enforcement methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of special drunk driving enforcement patrols on weekend evenings.
    • To assess a traditional approach to enforcing driving while impaired (DWI) laws without innovative methods like sobriety checkpoints.

    Main Methods:

    • A special drunk driving enforcement program was implemented in Stockton, California.
    • The program focused on weekend evenings in an environment without other major alcohol safety initiatives.
    • Data was collected over a three-and-a-half-year period.

    Main Results:

    • Nighttime collisions in Stockton significantly decreased during the program's duration.
    • The study demonstrated a reduction in traffic incidents attributed to impaired driving.

    Conclusions:

    • Traditional drunk driving enforcement patrols can be an effective strategy for reducing nighttime collisions.
    • The findings support the continued use and potential expansion of targeted enforcement patrols for impaired driving.
