Should I contest a speeding ticket that states I was speeding 15-20 over posted speed with a listed speed of 62 in a 55?

I recently was cited for speeding just outside of Rockford, IL. The road I was traveling on, which I've traveled numerous times over the past couple of years, had a recent change in the posted speed limit from 55 mph to 45 mph. I was not aware of the change, but was advised by a friend it occurred within the past few weeks. The citation I received states I was going 62 in a 55 with an offense of speeding 15-20 over the posted speed limit. I am debating whether or not I should fight the ticket, or just pay the ticket and go to traffic school and receive court supervision. I've been advised that the ticket could still be amended, making it a lesser offense of 5-10 over, but not changing the fact that I'm guilty of speeding. Does this error make it worthwhile to contest the citation?

It would be worth your while to consult with a traffic attorney familiar with the judges and practices in the court where you received the ticket to explore your options. An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case.
