The Naperville Police Department and Bolingbrook Police Department have increased traffic enforcement along 95th St. between Boughton Rd. and Naperville-Plainfield Rd. Since the new section of 95th St. opened late last year, there has been a steady increase in the volume of traffic and a significant increase in speeding violations along this stretch of roadway that borders the two cities. The posted speed limit on 95th St. is 40 mph in either direction in this residential neighborhood. Several residents have also voiced concern about excessive speed on this stretch of the roadway. With the weather improving, there will be an increase in outdoor activity and concern for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the street in that area.
The Naperville and Bolingbrook Police departments are closely monitoring this area with a joint traffic enforcement program to reduce violations and get motorists to slow down and comply with the law. In the last 4 weeks, Bolingbrook and Naperville police departments combined have issued over 80 traffic tickets on this section of roadway.
Both police departments will continue to monitor traffic in this area and will conduct further enforcement action as necessary to get motorists to comply with the speed limits and traffic laws. Motorists are asked to carefully monitor their speed and pay close attention to pedestrian, bicycle and other vehicle traffic while driving in this area.

Editor’s Update, April 14, 2015 / Since this alert was posted, residents have expressed concerns about excessive speeds on 111th Street and local neighborhood streets where the speed limit is 25 mph. Folks! Make it safe for youngsters to walk to and from school when weather permits. The next spring campaign is to watch out for all individuals as they head outdoors to enjoy the change of the seasons. Take a deep breath. Slow down!
