City of Naperville Report
The Naperville Police Department is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local law enforcement agencies to step up traffic safety efforts across the state to reduce speeding. Throughout the month of July, motorists can expect increased patrols looking for speeding, as well as other traffic violations.
“Over the past few years, we have seen an increase in careless and risky driving. No matter how safe of a driver you think you may be, speeding is dangerous,” said Sgt. Derek Zook. “Speed limits aren’t a suggestion – they are the law.”
Speeding creates unnecessary risks for all motorists, reducing the driver’s ability to steer safely around other vehicles, hazardous objects or unexpected curves.
During the speed limit enforcement campaign, officers will intensify enforcement of posted speed limits. Offenders will be stopped and ticketed, especially on major roadways, where many speed-related crashes occur. The goal is to save lives.
Stepped-up patrols will monitor speeding July 6-31
Drivers can expect a ticket from Naperville Police if they are spotted speeding. Stepped-up patrols will be seen throughout Naperville and the state July 6-31.
The speed enforcement effort is part of the “Speeding Catches Up With You” campaign and is made possible by federal highway safety funds administered by IDOT. It also supports IDOT’s broader “It’s Not a Game” media campaign.
