Contact the Police Department at 244-8640 for more information on keeping your streets safe. With the cooperation of residents, the Village can determine appropriate speed limits which protect residents and allow for safe vehicular travel. Municipalities are experimenting with new technology such as photographic radar to increase intensity and time of enforcement of the speed limit at feasible costs. The Village of Gurnee Police Department places vehicles which post the current speed of any passing vehicle. The purpose of these units is to educate drivers, monitor problem areas, and to enforce the speed limit.
Residents can help themselves by learning to recognize reasonable speeds for safety as a pedestrian.
However, when placed on public streets, damage to vehicles and longer emergency response time could prove to be a municipal liability. If you have a concern about speeding in your neighborhood, please contact the Village of Gurnee Director of Engineering at 623-7658.
