Speeding in a Construction Zone

Construction Zone Speeding in Illinois

Like other states, Illinois has established specific laws regarding speeding violations incurred in a construction zone. This is - understandably - done to protect the safety of those who work in road construction. However, this means that if you're ticketed for speeding in a construction zone, you'll face penalties that are much more severe than a regular speeding ticket.

Penalties for Speeding in an Illinois Construction Zone

A first offense of speeding in a construction zone in Illinois results in a $375 fine in addition to court costs, while a second ticket for construction zone speeding brings a $1,000 fine and a 90-day driver's license suspension. If you've been ticketed for speeding in a construction area in Illinois, you'll want to immediately contact an experienced Joliet traffic violation lawyer to discuss how you can avoid this serious traffic conviction.
