According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, nearly 2 million crashes occur each year at intersections. In 2005, red light running resulted in 800 fatalities and over 165,000 injuries. It is the Village’s belief that implementation of an Automated Red Light Photo Enforcement Program will reduce the number of red light collisions and injuries associated with such crashes. The goal of this program is to increase traffic safety in Roselle by reducing red light running violations, red light crashes and red light injury crashes without impacting Village funds. |
|
|
There are two types of Red Light Violations: • Right Turn on Red without coming to a complete stop. You may be cited with a Red Light Violation if you fail to bring your vehicle to a complete stop before turning right when the light is red. Turning right on red, after bringing your vehicle to a complete stop, is only allowed at intersections that do not have signs prohibiting such turns. For exact wording, please check Illinois’ Rules of the Road, or visit the Secretary of State’s web site, www.cyberdriveillinois.com • Entering an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. Motorists already in the intersection when the signal changes to red, when waiting to turn for example, are not considered red light violators. Illinois Secretary of State Web Site |
|
|
No. The automated system only becomes active once the red light is showing. It will not capture a vehicle that enters the intersection prior to the light changing to red. If you entered the intersection on yellow, it is legal to clear the intersection if the light turned red while you were still in the intersection. In the violation notice, the first photo shows your car at the white line when the stoplight was red. In the second photo the stoplight was still red when the car proceeded into the intersection. |
|
|
No. A violation of the Roselle Ordinance is a civil violation assessed against the owner of the vehicle; it is not a criminal violation. Similar to a parking ticket, there is no need to identify the driver and therefore, no need to capture the image of the driver. This violation will not affect your driving privileges or insurance rates. |

Under Illinois State Law, HB 4835 effective May, 2006, the registered owner of a vehicle is liable for any automated traffic law violations that occur to the vehicle. It does not matter who was driving the car, the law clearly states that the registered owner is liable. |
|
|
Under the law, the person(s) designated on the rental or lease agreement of a vehicle as the driver(s) of that vehicle is responsible for any assigned violations during the rental period. Your name and address were provided to us by the rental car agency. |
|
|
Failure to pay the civil penalty or to contest liability prior to the Pay or Contest Date on the Notice will result in a Determination of Liability being entered against you. You will be given another 14 days to pay, at which time, if payment has still not been received, a Final Determination of Liability will be issued. If the Final Determination of Liability is not paid, a late payment fee will be imposed and the fine increased. If this Second Notice remains unpaid, collections and an entry of a judgment against you may proceed. |
|
|
Payment must be received on or before the Pay or Contest by Date indicated on the violation notice. Postmarked dates are not considered as payment received, and payment extensions are not granted. |
|
|
The Notice you just received could be for additional violations or it may just be a second notice which crossed your payment in the mail. Payments are posted the same day they are received, but you may call the toll free number on the notice for assistance and to confirm receipt. |
|
|
No. Once you have paid a fine it is considered an admission of liability and requests to contest or schedule a hearing will not be granted. |
|
|
Images of your vehicle were captured and recorded by an Automated Red Light Photo Enforcement System. Your images and an actual video of the occurrence are available online for your review at: www.redlightviolations.com. |
Fire Department
|
|
The Mutual Aid Agreement the Roselle Fire Department has with nearby communities helps ensure that an ambulance will be available to respond even when there are multiple calls at the same time. You may see ambulances and equipment from Itasca, Bloomingdale, Hanover Park, Elk Grove, or Schaumburg. |
|
|
Responders use the emergency lights and siren only during a response to an emergency call. Emergency calls are frequently canceled or downgraded while responders are still in route. |
|
|
State law and common sense dictate that vehicles yield to emergency vehicles that are operating their emergency lights and siren. Emergency vehicle drivers are taught to pass on the left whenever possible when responding in emergency mode. When safe, slow down, pull over to the right, and stop. However, there are circumstances where that may not be possible (e.g., your car is already stopped, and you don't have anywhere to pull over). Simply stay put until the emergency vehicle goes around you. If you are blocking the route of the emergency vehicle, and you are able to pull ahead and over into a clear area, use your turn signal to indicate your intentions, and proceed at a safe speed. If an emergency vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, you should pull over and stop. You have no idea if they are proceeding down the road, or are planning on turning into a driveway or intersection right in front of you. You are not required to slow down or pull over for emergency vehicles that are responding in the opposite direction on a divided highway. Never slam on the brakes and stop in the middle of the road when you see emergency vehicles approaching. Make no sudden moves. |

Residents using fire pits, whether wood burning or gas-fueled, should be careful to follow safety precautions and local regulations. The Village of Roselle has a local ordinance that regulates any outside open burning. Regulations prohibit the emission of dense smoke from any indoor or outdoor fire so as to cause an annoyance, nuisance, discomfort or negative health effect to other residents. It is unlawful to burn, in any outdoor or indoor fireplace, anything other than natural gas, dry hardwood or softwood logs, branches, commercially manufactured artificial fire logs, or charcoal briquettes. Burning of yard waste is not permitted. If the fire department responds to an open burning complaint and determines that dense smoke is an annoyance, nuisance, or discomfort, they may instruct that the fire be extinguished. Failure to comply could result in a fine. |

Fire Suppression Sprinkler Information
|
|
Smoke alarms are essential in every home. But they can only detect a fire. Fire sprinklers detect the fire and automatically control it, saving lives and property. |
|
|
In the 9-12 minutes a fire department needs to respond, an uncontrolled fire will grow and spread throughout the home, causing tremendous smoke and fire damage. |
|
|
Sprinklers activate independently; only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate. Ninety percent (90%) of fires are extinguished by one sprinkler head. |
|
|
A sprinkler head flows 10-26 gallons of water per minute. The property loss in a sprinklered home fire is a small fraction of the typical loss in an unsprinklered home fire. In Scottsdale Arizona, where sprinklers have been required in all new homes for over 20 years, the average property fire loss was over $45,000 for single family homes without fire sprinklers compared to under $2,200 when sprinklers were present. In addition, residential fire sprinklers use up to 15 times less water than the fire department uses to extinguish a house fire. |
|
|
The national installation standard provides guidance for proper installation in cold regions and appropriate additional insulation and anti-freeze usage. |
|
|
The typical cost for a 13D fire sprinkler system in this area of the state is approximately $2.50 per square foot. In a typical modern 3000 square foot home, that would be about $7,500; which is less than the cost to remodel kitchen or bathroom. |

Anti-icing of the roadways begins before a snowfall, with the application of brine. Once the snow starts falling, Public Works typically begins plowing operations after two to three inches of snow has fallen, or sooner if road condition reports indicate the need. Primary streets are plowed first, followed by secondary streets and then cul-de-sacs. Plowing may be suspended between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., depending on the severity of the snow event. Public Works crews aim to have all streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within a day after the snow stops falling. Please keep in mind that the shoveling, dumping, plowing and blowing of snow onto streets and public sidewalks is a violation of local ordinances. Shoveling snow with the direction of traffic will help reduce the amount of snow plowed back onto driveway aprons. |

Planning and Zoning
|
|
Since sewer mains and water mains are usually on one side of the street (typically opposite sides) and since one or both of the mains do not exist in some areas of the Village, the costs to connect to the nearest sewer main and/or water main is different for each property. Consequently, the best way to determine whether one can connect to the Village’s sewer system or water system is to call Planning & Zoning Staff at (630) 671-2821. Keep in mind that a property must be within the Village of Roselle in order to connect to the Village’s sewer system or water system. Those owners of properties not within the Village, such as those in unincorporated DuPage County including portions of Bloomingdale Township called “Countryside” and “Medinah” as well as those in unincorporated Cook County including portions of Schaumburg Township, must petition to annex to the Village of Roselle before connecting to sewer or water. The Village typically annexes a property within three or four months after receiving a petition for annexation. If annexed to the Village of Roselle then the owner of the property will receive all the benefits of being in the Village such as quicker police service, cheaper garbage pickup, etc.; however, the owner of the property must follow all the Village’s regulations they may not be accustomed to such as obtaining vehicle stickers for every vehicle they own. |
|
|
The Village of Roselle Zoning Ordinance limits the ways in which owners of property may utilize their property, so, the best way to determine whether one can open or operate their business is to call Planning & Zoning Staff at (630) 671-2821. Even so, the Zoning Ordinance limits the ways in which owners of property may utilize their property differently depending upon the location of their property. For example, in residential areas, the Zoning Ordinance prohibits businesses such as offices, restaurants, shops, warehouses, and factories because the layout, noise, traffic, etc. of such businesses would disturb the residential neighborhood in addition to the residents of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the Zoning Ordinance limits the ways in which owners of properties in nonresidential areas may utilize their property as well in order to promote the health, safety, welfare, and general well-being of the Village. For instance, the Village does not want a warehouse with semi trucks coming and going next to a restaurant where children, seniors, and cars are coming and going. |

Snow Removal
|
|
The white, chalky lines are caused by the application of brine, a liquid anti-icing compound. Brine is being applied to local roads before snow events to provide additional time before the snow and ice begin to build up on the pavement. This will not be done if rain is predicted before the snow, as the brine would be washed off the pavement. |
|
|
Anti-icing of the roadways begins before a snowfall, with the application of brine. Once the snow starts falling, Public Works typically begins plowing operations after two to three inches of snow has fallen, or sooner if road condition reports indicate the need. Plowing may be suspended between 8:00 pm and 4:00 am, depending on the severity of the snow event. Public Works crews aim to have all streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within a day after the snow stops falling. |
|
|
Public Works is responsible for plowing over 70 miles of roadway in the Village. There are 110 cul-de-sacs in Roselle, which are more time consuming to plow and more difficult to clear (averaging 50 hours). Cul-de-sacs are typically done last, in the daylight hours to ensure that primary and secondary streets are passable. |
|

No. The main streets running through Roselle are handled by other agencies. The Illinois Department of Transportation is responsible for state roads (Lake Street, Irving Park Road), and the county transportation departments (DuPage and Cook) are responsible for county roads (Gary Avenue, Roselle Road, Nerge Road). The Village is responsible for most of the side streets and residential areas, except for those governed by some local homeowners associations. |
