Roadblocks in Minnesota
Various State Highways
Crow Wing County, Minnesota
Around the state "Traffic Survey" stations are taking place summer 2006. Road blocks are illegal and these surveys are suppose to be "voluntary" yet anyone who tries to exit or turn around is met by waiting police cars. Nothing voluntary about it. Its a road block in every sense but to get around MN law, they are calling it a survey. Beware.
This Minnesota roadblock was added to the Roadblock Registry in August 2006.
West end of Stillwater Lift Bridge
Stillwater, Minnesota
This roadblock appears when there is a large rock concert at Float-Rite Park across the river in Somerset, Wisconsin, or it is the period near the 4th of July. Minnesota State Patrol and Washington County Sheriff run everyone coming across the Stillwater lift bridge into a parking lot, where cars are searched for booze, drugs, impaired drivers, and fireworks (They are illegal in Minnesota). Long backups on the bridge coming into Minnesota. Use I-94 bridge to the south or US 8 at Taylors Falls.
This Minnesota roadblock was added to the Roadblock Registry in October 2002.
