Here's something similar from IL dot

CHICAGOThe Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) joined with
the State Police and Illinois Tollway to remind motorists
construction season is about to kick in to gear and warn that tough
new laws are on the books that target drivers who flout work zone
speed limits and endanger the lives of construction workers and other
drivers.
Next week is Work Zone Safety Week and the traditional beginning to
highway construction season. We want to send a message to motorists
now to slow down in work zones, IDOT Secretary Timothy W. Martin
said. If you are caught speeding in a work zone, at minimum you will
be looking at a fine of $375, at worst, you can kill yourself, a
loved one or a worker.
Under enhanced penalties passed by the Legislature and signed into
law by Gov. Rod Blagojevich last year, first-time work zone speeders,
including those caught on camera, will be hit with a fine of $375,
with $125 of that sum going to pay off-duty State Troopers to provide
added enforcement in construction or maintenance zones. Two-time
offenders are subject to a $1,000 fine, including a $250 surcharge to
hire Troopers, and the loss of their license for 90 days.
Starting in July, State Troopers will deploy specially equipped vans
that can take photographs of drivers speeding in IDOT and Tollway
construction and maintenance zones. Tickets will be issued by mail to
vehicle owners.
In addition, drivers who hit a worker are subject for up to a $10,000
fine and 14 years in prison.
