A new law increasing fines for speeding in Evanston school zones is set to go into effect March 8.
The Evanston City Council voted to increase the fines from $200 to $550 because many felt the set school zones speed limits were not being obeyed. Motorist should slow down to 20 miles per hour between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when school is in session.
According to reports, $50 would go to the schools and the other $500 would go to the city.
Many studies have shown people hit by vehicles going 20 mph suffer significantly less life-threatening injuries than those hit by vehicles going just 10 mph faster.
