Maryland ramps up patrols March 13–17 to combat impaired, distracted, and aggressive driving during St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Maryland State Police will increase patrols from March 13 to 17, 2026, targeting impaired, distracted, and aggressive driving during St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Troopers from all 23 barracks, including the SPIDRE team, will conduct saturation enforcement on major highways like I-495, I-270, I-70, I-81, and routes 301, 50, 5, and 295, with coordinated efforts involving local law enforcement.
The initiative, funded by the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Office, urges the public to designate sober drivers, use ride-share or public transit, avoid serving alcohol to impaired individuals, and remove keys from those planning to drive under the influence.
Officials emphasize personal responsibility, legal liability for hosts, and the importance of advance planning to prevent crashes.
