Subject: *** FYI **** Photo Radar in Illinois - begins July 1st!!!!
Illinois to start using Photo Radar on July 1st in Work Zones on major freeways! 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 nice
$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 $1000.00 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. Pass this
on to everyone you know who might be affected!!!
