Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. With regard to automated speed enforcement systems in safety zones, provides that "safety zone" does not include any roadway in which the 30 mile per hour speed limit is decreased by local ordinance without an engineering or traffic investigation. Provides that a local authority or park district shall determine and declare by ordinance a reasonable and safe absolute maximum speed which: decreases the limit within an urban district which shall not require an engineering or traffic investigation to a maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour, but not less than 20 miles per hour and a maximum speed limit of 10 miles per hour in an alley; increases the limit within an urban district, but not to more than 55 miles per hour, if after increasing the limit within an urban district an engineering or traffic investigation is required to decrease the limit; or decreases the limit within a residence district which shall not require an engineering or traffic investigation to a maximum speed limit of 20 (rather than not to less than 25) miles per hour. Requires a park district, city, village, incorporated town, or county board to post a sign designating the new speed limit. Makes other changes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to adjust regulations regarding speed limits and automated speed enforcement systems. Specifically, it clarifies that a "safety zone" for automated speed enforcement does not include roadways where the 30 mph speed limit was lowered by local ordinance without a proper engineering or traffic investigation. It also grants local authorities and park districts more flexibility in setting speed limits, allowing them to decrease the speed limit in urban districts to 25 mph (or 10 mph in alleys) without an investigation, increase it up to 55 mph with an investigation, or decrease it in residence districts to 20 mph without an investigation. Additionally, the bill mandates that local authorities and park districts must post signs to indicate these new speed limits.
