DANVILLE — City police recently put a dent in local speeders — or at least their wallets.

Officers handled out 699 tickets for speeding during the first three months of the department’s Speed Enforcement Program.

That averages out to 233 tickets a month and around 7 tickets per day.

The speeding citations made up the majority of the 968 tickets issued so far in the six-month program. Other citations included seat belt violations, driving without insurance and driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license.

Speed patrols are scheduled to begin again in July, running through September. The program is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation with the intent of preventing serious and fatal accidents.
