TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ordered a vehicle checkpoint be put in place on eastbound Interstate 10 near the Florida-Alabama state line in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Motorists approaching the checkpoint should be prepared to reduce their speed and expect to receive directions from law enforcement. Depending on where the driver came from, they will be directed to either proceed back to the interstate or to pull aside for further screening.
Commercial motor vehicles should proceed in the left lane and may bypass the checkpoint to ensure the timely delivery of essential products across the state.
