🚨 SLOW DOWN, MILAN! SPEEDING CATCHES UP WITH YOU. 🚨

Tomorrow, law enforcement agencies across Illinois are participating in Speed Awareness Day, bringing attention to the dangers of speeding and encouraging everyone to make safe choices behind the wheel.

In 2024, speeding was a factor in:
🏎️ 31.1% of all crashes in Illinois
🚑 35.2% of injury crashes
💔 45.3% of fatal crashes

In Illinois, 423 people lost their lives in speed-related crashes in 2024. More than 80% of those fatalities occurred on non-Interstate roadways where the posted speed limit was 55 mph or less.

Speeding doesn't just mean exceeding the posted speed limit. Driving too fast for road, weather, or traffic conditions can also put everyone at risk. Speeding can:
➡️ Increase the distance it takes to stop
➡️ Reduce your ability to react to hazards
➡️ Make it harder to safely navigate curves or avoid obstacles
➡️ Increase the risk of serious injury or death in a crash

As we head into the summer months, please remember to slow down and stay alert, especially in school zones, residential neighborhoods, construction and maintenance zones, and on secondary roads.

Posted speed limits are there for a reason—to protect drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and everyone who shares our roads.

👮‍♂️ Help us save lives. Obey posted speed limits. Drive for the conditions. Look out for one another.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(07/07/2026)

Drive smart: Reduce your speed for safer travel

[Milan, IL] – Today, the Milan Police Department 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. Throughout the month of July, motorists can expect increased patrols looking for speeding, as well as other traffic violations.

Speeding causes unnecessary danger on our roads and 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 blitz, officers will intensify enforcement of posted speed limits.

Offenders will be stopped and ticketed – especially on the Rock Island-Milan Parkway, Route 67, Veterans Memorial Bridge, West 4th Street, and East 1st Avenue, where most of our speed-related crashes occur. Our goal is to save lives!

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

Milan Police Department Releases Fourth of July enforcement statistics

(Milan, Illinois) – The Milan Police Department made (1) impaired driving arrest and issued (5) seat belt citations during the recent Fourth of July Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket safety campaigns.

Other citations issued included (36) speeding citations, (14) distracted driving citations, and (33) citations for other enforcement.

Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this statewide effort to get drunk and drugged drivers off our roads and encourage seat belt use.

Milan Police Department joined forces with more than 200 other state and local law enforcement agencies conducting the crackdown, which featured high-visibility enforcement combined with a variety of outreach activities including a media campaign.

The Illinois Independence Day enforcement campaign is funded with federal highway safety dollars administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation and supported by the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies across the state. It’s reinforced with IDOT’s “It’s Not a Game” media campaign, which shares real stories of Illinois residents lost in fatal crashes.
