伊利诺伊州警方在 I-57 公路 Mount Vernon 一带加密巡逻：一周开出650多张罚单与警告
伊利诺伊州警方（ISP）11月12日宣布，为迎接假日出行季，已在本月初起每天把警力集中投向州南部 Mount Vernon 附近的 I-57 州际公路施工区，加强巡逻与执法。
11月第一周，州警方在这一带共开出650多张罚单与警告，完成80多次商用车辆安全检查，并责令17辆途经施工区的商用车辆停驶整改。州警方表示，第10巡逻队、商用车辆执法局与特种行动组等多支队伍协同执法，目标是让驾驶人减速、保持安全跟车距离、及时变道避让并放下手机，因为超速与分心驾驶正是施工区事故的主要成因。
伊利诺伊州交通厅在施工高峰时段保持双向各两条车道通行，把影响较大的工序安排在非高峰时段，并已下调限速、增设车道标线。交通厅长 Gia Biagi 表示，锥桶与路障后工作的施工人员同样要平安回家与家人团聚。Mount Vernon 附近 I-57 两处施工区的工程将持续到2027年6月与10月；去年州警方在 Jefferson 县处理的事故中，有一半发生在施工区。
州警方提醒，施工区内首次超速的最低罚款为250美元，第二次将被吊销驾照90天并罚款750美元；若违法行为致他人受伤，吊销期为六个月至两年。靠近施工区或亮着警灯的车辆时，驾驶人须按避让法减速并变道，首次违法的罚款为250至10,000美元。

Illinois State Police Step Up I-57 Patrols Near Mt. Vernon: More Than 650 Citations and Warnings in First Week
The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced on November 12 that it is increasing patrols and enforcement in advance of the holiday season, focusing daily resources since earlier this month on Interstate 57 near Mt. Vernon as part of a construction work zone safety initiative.
During the first week of November, ISP issued more than 650 citations and warnings to drivers, completed more than 80 Motor Carrier Safety Inspections, and placed 17 commercial vehicles traveling through the zones out of service. Troop 10 Patrol, the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau and the Special Operations Group are working together to get drivers to slow down, follow at a safe distance, move over and stop driving distracted, the leading causes of crashes in work zones, ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly said.
The Illinois Department of Transportation has maintained two lanes in each direction during peak or daytime hours, scheduled more disruptive work during off-peak hours, reduced speed limits and added lane markings. Transportation Secretary Gia Biagi said the people working behind the cones and barricades want to get home safely to their families. Construction in the two zones on I-57 near Mt. Vernon will continue until June and October 2027, and last year 50% of crashes ISP handled in Jefferson County occurred in a work zone.
The minimum fine for a first offense of speeding in a work zone is $250; a second offense brings a 90-day license suspension and a $750 fine, and a violation that injures another person brings a mandatory suspension of six months to two years. Violating the Move Over Law carries a fine of $250 to $10,000 for a first offense.
