Oswego Police conducted a focused traffic safety campaign July 8 – August 1 to remind motorists that "Speeding Catches Up With You" and encourage safer driving habits. The campaign was part of a statewide effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois State Police, aiming to reduce highway fatalities and injuries associated with speeding.

During this enforcement period, Oswego Police issued:

• 93 speeding citations
• 17 seat belt citations
• 11 distracted driving citations
• 4 other citations
• 2 uninsured motorists
• 1 no valid driver’s license
• 1 no valid registration

"We continue to urge all drivers traveling through our community to slow down, obey speed limits and drive responsibly," said Sergeant Brian Nehring. "Every decision you make behind the wheel matters, it's truly not a game."

This campaign aligns with IDOT’s broader "It’s Not a Game" initiative, emphasizing that dangerous driving behaviors have serious consequences.

This speed enforcement effort was funded by federal highway safety dollars administered by IDOT.
