Lockport Police Begins July Speeding Enforcement Campaign

LOCKPORT, IL – The Lockport Police Department has announced it is partnering with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local law enforcement agencies to step up enforcement efforts across the state in an effort to reduce speeding, the department shared in a news release.

Throughout the month of July, Lockport motorists can expect increased patrols looking for speeding, as well as other traffic violations.

“Speeding causes unnecessary danger on our roads,” said police. “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 the speeding enforcement, Lockport officers will intensify enforcement of posted speed limits.

The speed enforcement effort is made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT.
