[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH It's not just at grade crossings. The Illinois State Police is setting up several of these devices throughout the Dan Ryan construction zone to control speed. Construction zone speed limit is 45 MPH and the fine for a first speeding offense in a construction zone is $375, it goes up from there. Safety of the construction workers is the goal in this case, there have been several high-profile incidents in which flaggers and other workers have been killed or injured by speeders. [/quote] Beware of that scam. Last year on I-88 and 2 years ago on I-355 the speed traps were more often set up on the side NOT under construction. The only impediment to traffic flow was the half a dozen cars pulled over at a time. The state police were using white pickup trucks and wearing hard-hats. The robo cops were sometimes active 24/7, even when no workers are present. Of course Illinois' policy of shutting down 15 miles of Interstate to actually work on a single bridge doesn't help matters.[:)]
