Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Traffic Laws
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of speeding and disobeying a traffic control signal in Village. Defendant appealed pro se, arguing that court erred in not accepting his "defense" that Village failed to show relevant speed limit signs, traffic control devices, and road markings complied with Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and speed limit was established based on an engineering study. The speed limit and traffic signs and devices are presumptively valid, and Defendant failed to rebut that presumption with competent evidence. (NEVILLE and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
