State police to watch toll roads

Illinois State Police District 15 will conduct nighttime enforcement patrols between Nov. 6 and Nov. 28 on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) in Cook and Kane counties, the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) in DuPage and Kane counties, the Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294) in Cook and Lake counties and the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) in DuPage and Will counties.

The program focuses enforcement efforts on drivers who are impaired and those who are not wearing their seat belts. The patrols will be conducted during nighttime hours when impaired driving crashes causing death or serious injury occur at higher rates, officials said.

Troopers will have a zero-tolerance approach to impaired and unrestrained drivers during the patrols, officials said.

The program is funded through IDOT's Division of Traffic Safety.
