The Brookfield Police Department announced it is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police, and over 200 local law enforcement agencies to enhance enforcement efforts aimed at reducing speeding. Throughout July, motorists can expect increased patrols focusing on speeding and other traffic violations.
“Speeding causes unnecessary danger on our roads,” said Chief Michael Kuruvilla. “Speed greatly reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object or an unexpected curve. Speeding drivers put themselves, their passengers and other motorists at tremendous risk.”
During this enforcement initiative, officers will intensify monitoring of posted speed limits. “Offenders will be stopped and ticketed – especially on 31st Street, Washington Avenue, Ogden Avenue, Prairie Avenue, and Maple Avenue, where most of our speed-related crashes occur,” added Chief Kuruvilla. “Our goal is to save lives.”
This speed enforcement effort is supported by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT.
