This speed trap has been here a year to my experience (lawyers say it will last another 2 yrs). The second time I went through I was pulled over though I was only 5 mph over the speed limit. The citation was for 10 miles over. The ticket is costing $600-$1000. As the area has been ‘labelled’ a ‘construction zone’ …(btw…the nearest construction per Illinois Hwy’s is the bridge over the Ohio River). It is known this is NOT a construction zone. Reduce speed to exactly 55 mph. The warning signs are for 10-25 miles before the trap (which is all of .08 miles long) and you will have to be patient. You will know when you hit it as 5-8 patrol cars line up in the median to pounce. When I was pulled over all 8 were occupied giving tickets. They turn this around in less than 15 minutes at 4 per hour, netting $3 million dollars per six months (at 5 patrols per 15 minutes), if you want the math. It is a fast citation but it means more money for that county or state of Illinois. No one is protesting as all the violations are for out of state plates and scattered throughout ten states all traveling to parts south.
