The Barrington Hills Police Department announced it issued 12 citations for distracted driving violations and 50 other citations during April’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month enforcement campaign.
“Distracted driving remains a serious problem in Barrington Hills, and one moment of inattention can change lives forever,” said Sgt. David M. Kann. “High-visibility enforcement is one way we remind drivers that safe driving requires their full attention. April may be over, but our message is not. The Barrington Hills Police Department will continue enforcing distracted driving laws and urging motorists to put the phone away whenever they get behind the wheel.”
The Barrington Hills Police Department joined forces with the Illinois State Police, local law enforcement and highway safety partners for this enforcement effort.
The Illinois distracted driving campaign was funded with federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
