South Barrington Police conducted a focused traffic safety campaign July 8 – Aug. 1 to remind motorists that “Speeding Catches Up With You” and encourage safer driving habits. The campaign was part of a statewide effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois State Police, aiming to reduce highway fatalities and injuries associated with speeding.
During this enforcement period, South Barrington Police issued:
- 89 speeding citations
- 3 suspended/revoked licenses
- 5 uninsured motorists
- 3 distracted driving citations
“We continue to urge all drivers traveling through our community to slow down, obey speed limits and drive responsibly,” said Sergeant Lynch. “Every decision you make behind the wheel matters — it’s truly not a game.”
This campaign aligns with IDOT’s broader “It’s Not a Game” initiative, emphasizing that dangerous driving behaviors have serious consequences.
This speed enforcement effort was funded by federal highway safety dollars administered by IDOT.
