Chicago speed cameras and red light cameras

Chicago runs two automated traffic enforcement programs. Speed cameras sit in children's safety zones around schools and parks and ticket drivers traveling over the posted limit. Red light cameras sit at signalized intersections and ticket vehicles that enter after the light has turned red. Both publish a daily violation count for every camera, and every location below has its own page.
