Illinois Workzone Photo Enforcement

Today I'm travelling on 290 westbound and come up to construction zone, 45mph. Anyone who travels in IL knows that the flow of traffic is going 60mph minimal. I am doing 55 and before I realize it pass a "photo enforcement vehicle" and can't slow down in time.

Cars are passing me on the left but I had ample warning to slow down to 45, but risk getting hit from behind or disrupting flow of traffic.


Am I getting a ticket? How serious is this? I have video proof I was going slower than anyone next to me

 

True, but there has to be some kind of threshold. They'd be pumping out thousands of violations an hour. I get nabbed for 54 in a 45 when everyone around me is doing 70? I also slowed down to 45 when no one else did, semis included.

My question is, I assume my company gets a ticket if one is issued. Then what?

 

I understand it is a moving violation as well. I might as well just find a new career from the sounds of it. My record is spotless, 15 years of driving and training. Just a bad moment I guess.

 

It goes to the company, so what happens to MY record? These are different from red light cameras but not sure how the process works.
