Hearings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Gurnee Police Department’s Community Room, 100 N. O’Plaine Road, Gurnee, IL. 60031.

A violation occurs when a motorist enters an intersection after the signal light has turned red. Right turn on red is no different. Illinois law allowing right turns on red signals (625 ILCS 5/11-306c3) requires drivers to come to a complete stop, yield to traffic on the opposing roadway and pedestrians in the crosswalk, then proceed with the right turn if it's safe to do so.

You may call 847-599-7171 or email PhotoEnforcement@police.gurnee.il.us for any other questions or comments. A trained member of the police department will be glad to assist you.

Many of our laws are built around providing for the safety and the greater good of society and it’s important to note law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear by the cameras.

They can, but laws require that red light cameras must meet specified standards and be well maintained. Like any citation issued by police, a comprehensive process is in place where people can appeal their citation, and photo enforcement is no different.

No. Before a ticket is ever issued, a number of individuals, including an authorized Gurnee police officer, review the video and photos to ensure that each ticket is legitimate.
