LEXINGTON, Ky. — [The Kentucky State Police Post 12 in Frankfort announced it will conduct periodic traffic safety checkpoints at approved locations](https://www.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/news/p12-2-4-2026/) in accordance with state police policy and procedures.

The Post 12 district covers seven counties in the region, including [Fayette, Anderson, Franklin, Scott, Shelby, Spencer, and Woodford counties](https://www.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/post12checkpoints). The checkpoints are designed to enforce traffic laws across Kentucky with a focus on high-priority safety violations.

Troopers will pay special attention to occupant protection through seatbelt enforcement, sobriety violations, insurance compliance, and vehicle registration issues. Drivers who encounter a checkpoint will be asked to present their driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.

According to state police, drivers who have this documentation readily available and have not violated any traffic laws should expect minimal delays of 30 seconds to one minute. A complete list of approved checkpoint locations is available on the [Kentucky State Police Post 12 website](https://www.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/post12checkpoints).

These checkpoints are part of a statewide traffic enforcement initiative aimed at improving roadway safety and reducing crashes caused by impaired driving and failure to use safety restraints.
