Multiple news outlets, including WGN, reported this week that the city of Chicago is installing eleven (11) new speeder cameras throughout the city. Speeder cameras, which have long drawn the ire of Chicago residents, will issue a $35 fine for driving 6-10 mph over the speed limit and a $100 fine for those and going 11 mph or more over the limit. These tickets are considered non-moving violations and do not affect your driving record.
The city continues to contend that these cameras are strictly a safety measure and were installed to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and other drivers. Many who live in the city believe they are simply a money grab.
Regardless, the speeder cameras appear to be here for the long haul. The following locations begin enforcement on May 15:
- 2640 W Peterson Ave – Green Briar Park
- 6614 N Central Ave – Edgebrook Park
- 442 E 71st St – Meyering (William) Park
- 8553 S Martin Luther King Dr – Cole (Nat King) Park
- 7733 S Cottage Grove Ave – Hirsch Metropolitan High School
- 3358 S Ashland Ave – Kucinski-Murphy (Vicki Rosebeth) Park
- 6146 N Sheridan Rd – Park 559
The following locations begin enforcement on June 30:
- 49 W 85th St – Perspectives High School
- 614 W 47th St – Tilden High School
- 1635 N LaSalle Dr – Lincoln Park
- 5941 N Nagle Ave – Rosedale Park
Up to 50 new cameras are expected to be installed by the end of the year. You can find all Chicago speeder cameras by clicking here.
