I think Gjammer was asking specifically about Lidar. That article says radar. :?:

Thanks for the article. I heard about these photo radar vans in construction zones.

I was not sure if any Illinois police department had implemented photo Lidar yet.

I heard rumors about photo lidar vans in Illinois stationed on highways (not only construction zones) but I've yet to hear of any confirmation of this or of any stationary photo Lidar traps.

It's funny, the article says that they are not trying to entrap drivers. There is a construction zone by me with a photo enforcement warning sign, but about 0.5 miles before that sign, there are troopers hiding behind walls and on on-ramps...nice try ISP

If you are referring to the Photo Lidar Vans;

Well, the normal rules of laser encounters would apply. I believe these vans operate unmanned so the Lidar Gun on board will be aimed at a certain point on the road, clocking vehicles that enter that target zone.

If you are hit, you'll probably get a Laser alert, and maybe a ticket in the mail if you are speeding and you don't have laser counter measures.

You may be able to pickup laser scatter as vehicles in front of you get clocked.
