If you're tooling around the Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhoods, you may want to rethink that extra cocktail or texting while driving in the area of North Avenue and Albany.

During roadside safety checks, police officers slow down traffic, stop cars at regular intervals and watch for drivers who show signs of alcohol impairment and other violations as noted below.
