Subject: ILLINOIS SPEEDING TICKETS...................

Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July.

Second offense tickets are $1,000 with license suspension.

Beginning in July the State of Illinois will use speed cameras in areas
designated as ''work zones'' on major freeways. Anyone caught by the
devices will be mailed a $375 ticket for the first offense, but a
second
ticket will cost $1000 and comes with a 90-day license suspension.
Drivers will also receive demerit points against their license, which
allows
insurance companies to raise their insurance rates.
This represents the harshest penalty structure yet for a city using
photo
enforcement.
The state will begin with two camera vans issuing tickets in zones with
speed limits lowered to 45 MPH. Photographs of both the driver's face
and license plate are taken.
Officials announced the plan on the Dan Ryan Expressway
suggesting Chicago area roads are likely to be a target.
Illinois Tollway Executive Director Jack Hartman promised more work
zones:
''Since the Tollway just launched our $5.3 billion Congestion Relief
Plan,
drivers will see more work zones on the Tollway than they have in the
past.''
