Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 25. Limitations on the use of automated traffic enforcement systems.

(a) The Illinois State Police must conduct a public information campaign to inform drivers about the use of automated traffic
control systems in highway construction or maintenance zones before establishing any of those systems. The Illinois State Police shall adopt rules for implementing this subsection (a).

(b) Signs indicating that speeds are enforced by automated traffic control systems must be clearly posted in the areas where the systems are in use.

(c) Operation of automated traffic control systems is limited to areas where road construction or maintenance is occurring.

(d)  Photographs obtained in this manner may only be used as evidence in relation to a violation of Section 11-605.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code for which the photograph is taken.  The photographs are available only to the owner of the vehicle, the offender and the offender's attorney, the judiciary, the local State's Attorney, and law enforcement officials.

(e)  If the driver of the vehicle cannot be identified through the photograph, the owner is not liable for the fine, and the citation may not be counted against the driving record of the owner.  If the driver can be identified, the driver is liable for the fine, and the violation is counted against his or her driving record.
