11 Seatbelt Citations Issued During Romeoville Enforcement Effort

ROMEOVILLE, IL — 11 seatbelt and child safety seat citations and four speeding citations were issued during Romeoville Police Department's recent holiday enforcement effort.

The department said it also issued nine distracted driving citations and eight other citations, including those for insurance and registration.

Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this effort to save lives by getting impaired drivers off the roads and more people buckled up, the department said. The enforcement campaign took place from Dec. 17 through Jan. 3.

During the mobilization, extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night hours, when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities occur, the department said.

The holiday enforcement effort was made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
