This is important information for driving in Illinois...
Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July.
One mile per hour over the speed limit and the machine will get you a
$375.00 ticket in the mail. Beginning July 1st, the State of
Illinois will begin using the speed cameras in areas designated as "Work
Zones" on major freeways. Anyone caught by these devices will be mailed
a $375.00 ticket for the FIRST offense. The SECOND offense will cost
$1,000.00 and comes with a 90-Day suspension. Drivers will also receive
demerit points against their license, which allow insurance companies to
raise Insurance rates.
This is the harshest penalty structure ever set for a governmental unit
involving PHOTO speed enforcement. The State already has two camera
vans on line issuing tickets 24/7 in work zones with speed limits
lowered to 45 MPH. Photos of both the Driver's face and License plate
are taken.
