Illinois begins aggressive speed enforcement in construction zones
6/5/08

The Illinois State Police are using vans with cameras and radar guns to photograph motorists and other drivers who speed through highway construction zones, and are enforcing strict penalties for alleged offenders.

Citations for a first offense are $375, and a second offense can cost $1,000 and a 90-day suspension of drivers license.
State Police officials said four white vans, which are equipped with radar guns, cameras and a monitor to show drivers their speed, have been deployed at different construction zones in the state. As of Thursday, June 5, those vans are deployed at the widening project on the South Tri-State Tollway at Interstate 294, in Will County on Interstate 55, on the Edens Expressway on I-94, and on Interstate 74 in Champaign.
