Streamwood Police to Conduct Traffic Safety Campaign - Rt. 59

The Streamwood Police Department will be conducting a traffic safety campaign on May 9^th, 2008; along the Illinois Route 59 corridor from 7:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. This campaign is also being conducted in conjunction with area police department’s who also have jurisdiction along Illinois Route 59. The purpose of this safety campaign is to increase the safety of citizens through traffic enforcement and education. The focus of our campaign is speeding, occupant protection, red light violators and improper lane usage.

The intersection of Illinois Route 59 and Illinois Route 19 has been the number one source of accidents occurring within our jurisdiction each of the last 6 years. We average roughly 57 accidents a year at this intersection. In addition, our stretch of Illinois Route 59 was also the roadway in which both a motorcyclist and a pedestrian were killed in calendar year 2007. It is our hope that through increased enforcement and education, we will ultimately see a reduction in motor vehicle accidents in calendar year 2008.

The above campaign will serve to enhance current enforcement programs already implemented along the Streamwood Route 59 corridor.
