11 other highways, roads, and streets.
12 (e) Unless some lesser speed restriction is established
13 under this Chapter, the maximum speed limit outside an urban
14 district for a second division vehicle designed or used for
15 the carrying of a gross weight of 8,001 pounds or more
16 (including the weight of the vehicle and maximum load) is 55
17 miles per hour.
18 (f) Unless some other speed restriction is established
19 under this Chapter, the maximum speed limit outside an urban
20 district for a bus is:
21 1. 65 miles per hour upon any highway which has at
22 least 4 lanes of traffic and of which the roadways for
23 traffic moving in opposite directions are separated by a
24 strip of ground which is not surfaced or suitable for
25 vehicular traffic, except that the maximum speed limit
26 for a bus on all highways, roads, or streets not under
27 the jurisdiction of the Department or the Illinois State
28 Toll Highway Authority is 55 miles per hour; and
29 2. 60 miles per hour on any other highway, except

6 (h) In addition to all fines, fees, costs, and
7 punishments prescribed by law, an additional fine of $1 for
8 every mile per hour over the posted speed limit shall be
