The effectiveness of drunk driving enforcement patrols is generally assumed. However, few adequate evaluations are available in the traffic safety literature. The U.S. Department of Transportation funded a special program in Stockton, a city with a population of 120,000 in the central valley of California, to test the effectiveness of special drunk driving patrols on weekend evenings, applied within a setting in which no other major alcohol safety programs were present. The objective of this effort was to determine the effectiveness of a "traditional" approach to enforcing driving while impaired (DWI) laws; one in which innovative procedures such as sobriety checkpoints were not used. The results indicated that nighttime collisions in Stockton were reduced during the three and a half year period of the special enforcement program.
人们普遍认为酒驾执法巡逻是有效的。然而,交通安全文献中几乎没有充分的评估。美国交通部在加利福尼亚中央谷地一个拥有12万人口的城市斯托克顿资助了一个特别项目,以测试在没有其他主要酒精安全项目的情况下,周末晚上进行特别酒驾巡逻的效果。这项工作的目的是确定一种“传统”的酒后驾车(DWI)执法方法的有效性;在这种方法中,没有使用清醒检查站等创新程序。结果表明,在特别执法项目的三年半时间里,斯托克顿的夜间碰撞事故有所减少。
