Traffic Enforcement

The Police Department is very dedicated to keeping our streets safe and has increased the traffic enforcement program. To avoid receiving a citation, please obey our speed limit and stop signs, and remember.08% blood-alcohol is the limit in Illinois.

Snow Parking

As soon as the winter weather hits, our public works crews will be out salting and plowing streets. When it snows, please move your vehicles to the odd-numbered address side of the street. Once the odd-numbered address side of the street is plowed, then move your vehicles to the even-numbered address side. Vehicles left parked on the wrong side of the street will be ticketed.

Red Light Cameras

These cameras are traffic enforcement devices that capture an image of a vehicle which has entered an intersection against a red traffic light. By automatically photographing vehicles that run red lights, the camera produces evidence that assist authorities in their enforcement of traffic laws. The camera is triggered when a vehicle enters the intersection after the light has turned red. Vehicles must come to a complete stop before the white lines. A law enforcement official will review photographic evidence and determine whether a violation occurred. A citation is then mailed to the owner of the vehicle found to be in violation of the law.

Red Light Camera Locations

The village uses these traffic enforcement cameras in three places:

• Grand Avenue eastbound at Thatcher Avenue
• Thatcher Avenue southbound at Grand Avenue
• River Road southbound at Grand Avenue
