The Costa Mesa Police Department no longer discloses the locations before holding DUI checkpoints, but at least the cop shop still informs us when they are happening.

Another checkpoint is scheduled somewhere in Costa Mesa from 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, through 2 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25.
The operations are funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
