Red Light Camera Update for Chicago
[From City expects $50M. in red-light fines :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State]
An update on red light cameras in Chicago. There are 104 cameras in action with 25 more planned for this year. The city will collect more than $50 million in fines this year. (The sum of the previous four years was $35 million). The cameras are having an effect according to the OEMC.
Second, accidents are down 30 percent in the camera-covered intersections, and red-light running is down 60 percent, according to numbers provided by the city. And since the cameras also stand watch against illegal right turns on red, pedestrian injuries from such turns have also declined, according to Martinez.
The data provided seems to be the same numbers as provided back in March. See here for that update on red light cameras in chicago.
