Illinois Work-Zone

Photo Radar Enforcement

      


Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones starting in July

Beginning in July the State of Illinois will use 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, but the SECOND offense will cost $1000.00 and comes with a 90-Day suspension.

Drivers will also receive demerit points against their license,
which allows insurance companies to raise their rates.

This represents the harshest penalty structure yet for a city or state using
 PHOTO enforcements.  The State will begin with TWO camera vans issuing tickets in
work zones with speed limits lowered to 45 MPH.

Photographs of both the Driver's face and License plate are taken.
