Drivers in Kane County can expect to see increased police patrols this month as part of a statewide crackdown on speeding.
The Kane County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Police and more than 200 local law enforcement agencies on the campaign, which started Tuesday, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
Residents can expect to see increased patrols throughout Kane County and Illinois during the campaign, the release said. Officers will be intensifying speed limit enforcement and stopping and ticketing offenders, particularly in areas with high numbers of speed-related crashes. The initiative is set to extend through July 31.
The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is also participating in the anti-speeding initiative, according to a press release from the office on Monday.
The initiative is part of the “Speeding Catches Up With You” campaign, which is funded through federal highway safety funds administered by IDOT, according to the news release. The speed enforcement effort also supports IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign.
