Illinois State Police (ISP) officials announce enforcement plans for the upcoming Super Bowl weekend. ISP Troopers statewide will strictly enforce FATAL-4 violations, which include; DUI, Speeding, Distracted Driving and Seat Belt compliance, all of which are leading factors in fatal traffic crashes.

The ISP is urging motorists to celebrate responsibly and make safety their number one priority during the upcoming Super Bowl weekend. During the 52nd Super Bowl weekend in 2018, ISP Troopers made over 60 DUI arrests and issued over 2,300 citations statewide, including over 760 speed, 320 seatbelt, and 160 alcohol related citations. During the 2018 Super Bowl weekend, ISP also investigated three alcohol related crashes and one fatal traffic crash.

“Driving under the influence is still the number one cause for traffic crashes and fatalities, during the holidays, and Super Bowl weekend is no different,” said ISP Acting Director Brendan Kelly. “Illinois State Police enforcement will be targeting impaired drivers and violators who jeopardize the safety and well-being of fellow motorists on Illinois roadways,” he stressed.
