Safe Driving Tips For Rakow Road

Please be aware that the Rakow Road construction speed limit will remain in force until the project is complete in fall of 2012. 

All construction speed zones are in force 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, limiting speed and cell phone use.  While most construction activities have ceased for the winter shutdown, the mild winter has allowed work to continue in several areas and we anticipate ongoing utility relocation work through the remainder of the winter. 

 While the construction speed zone is very important for worker safety, it is a fact that over 90% of Illinois traffic-related work zone fatalities are motorists.  Please observe the speed limits and the restriction on cell phone use. 

Pay extra attention while driving through the work zone for your own, the workers and your fellow motorists’ safety.
