On average, six people sustain fatal injuries each year in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To prevent this, the federal government will avail $25,000 from its deficit via the USDOT NHTSA for police check points at “all the park’s heavily traveled locations.” The first of two inspection stake-outs will last two weeks and will start soon. It will include “sobriety checkpoints and saturation enforcement patrols.”
Note: Saturation pertains to the concentration of police officers, not consumed chemicals.
