Recent studies of drivers on the Illinois Tollway show that hardly anyone obeys the speed limit. Just one driver in 20 follows the law in 55 mph zones, while most tend to cruise at least 11 mph over the limit, according to the studies. In some stretches, one in seven motorists speed at least 20 mph over the limit, according to data analyzed by the Chicago Tribune. On one stretch of highway 98 percent of drivers were speeding. The speed limit on some Illinois interstates increases to 70 mph on Jan. 1.
