Hebron, IL is a small town in northern Illinois located just south of the Wisconsin border. Hebron is a primary cossing point for tourists that are headed into Lake Geneva, WI from Illinois. This fact is highly exploited by the Hebron Police Department. Two State Routes intersect in the middle of Hebron and both of these routes into and out of town are heavily enforced. Heading south from the IL/WI border on Route 47 into town, the speed limit is reduced from 55 mph to 40 mph. Where the speed limit drops to 40 mph is at the top of a fairly steep downgrade heading into town. It usually requires drivers to use the brakes to maintain 40 mph as they continue downhill. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the hill there is a slight turn that hides a sign indicating that the speed limit is now 30 mph and it cannot be seen until you are already passing this sign. By then, it is too late as the Police are sitting and taking radar just a little ways past this 30 mph sign. Please be aware, this is not the only spot that is "enforced". The Hebron Police will often sit hidden in the tree line going out of town (any direction). As Hebron is located in a rural area, drivers will begin to speed up to the normal limit of 55 mph as they are exiting town through the surrounding cornfields. The Police will frequently wait at the outskirts of town and ticket drivers that are leaving town faster than 35 mph – even though this area is nothing but cornfields. Note: Hebron has a population of approximately 1,100 residents – yet will have 3 – 4 Police cars operating at any given time.
