Deputies and troopers are out in full force to target some of the county’s busiest roadways and reduce the risk of traffic accidents caused by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
As part of this operation, law enforcement officials are focusing their attention on high-traffic areas, including County Road 210, Racetrack Road, and US 1, with additional patrols across the county. The goal is to increase visibility and ensure that traffic laws are strictly enforced, particularly as holiday celebrations increase the number of drivers on the road.
According to St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office Corporal Alex Ellis, about 30 officers will be working tonight as part of the operation. He emphasized the importance of visible law enforcement presence to discourage impaired driving.
