The Lombard Police Department is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local law enforcement agencies to step up enforcement efforts across the state in an effort to reduce speeding. Throughout the month of July, drivers can expect increased patrols looking for speeding, as well as other traffic violations.
“Speeding causes unnecessary danger on our roads,” said Sergeant Tom Balsitis. “Speed greatly reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object or an unexpected curve. Speeding drivers put themselves, their passengers and other motorists at tremendous risk.”
During the speeding enforcement campaign, officers will increase enforcement of posted speed limits within the Village of Lombard. This will include roadways that experience the most speed violations, as well as various other residential roadways. Help make roads safer for everyone by watching your speed.
The speed enforcement effort is made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT.
