It is the start of a new month and March is known for several holidays including St. Patrick's Day.

That means that you will see more New York State Troopers out and about across the state this month.

The troopers' STOP-DWI high visibility campaign will kick off Thursday, March 13 and last until Tuesday, March 18. St. Patrick's Day is on Monday, March 17th this year.

In 2024, the troopers ran their St. Patrick's Day campaign from March 15th through March 17th. In that time, troopers issued over 5,500 tickets during that time.

State Troopers also made 132 arrests for DWI infractions and they also investigated 199 crashes during that weekend.

Besides setting up more DWI checkpoints during this enforcement timeframe, troopers will also increase patrols, which will be on the look out for driving infractions like speeding, violating the "move over" law, and more underage drinking enforcement.

The New York State Troopers will hold several STOP-DWI high visibility campaigns during 2025.

This Is Worst Street For Potholes In New York State

In my opinion, the worst street for potholes in New York is Pearl Street between Court Street and Mohawk in downtown Buffalo, New York.
