Let's get one together... I'll be coming from downtown, as I'm sure others will. Always more fun to caravan with others than drive through not-so-scenic stretches of suburbia solo.

View Full Version : Is there a group driving out from downtown to Blackhawk like last time? Cameron 05-13-2008, 11:05 PM Let's get one together... I'll be coming from downtown, as I'm sure others will. Always more fun to caravan with others than drive through not-so-scenic stretches of suburbia solo. 520 05-14-2008, 04:18 AM But let's keep it sane ;-) Cameron 05-14-2008, 09:30 AM I've essentially stopped speeding on the highway with the speed cameras / camera vans since they'll ticket you for 2mph over... 520 05-14-2008, 09:42 AM We'll plan more as the day comes closer. Cameron 05-14-2008, 08:41 PM They are prosecuted by Corporation Counsel (city attorneys) at the Daley Center, not State's Attorneys. I think the tickets are under some special City of Chicago municipal statute, they don't ticket you for violating the state law against speeding. Similar to what they do with the red light cameras. One TTRaQ Mind 05-14-2008, 09:12 PM I've seen the posted signs but not a camera. Are they confined to stretches with workers where we likely observe posted limits? Do they need a front plate shot to nail you? Cameron 05-15-2008, 07:21 PM ... I think the vans are the only ones active during the pilot program. They LOVE being in the middle of an off-ramp and getting everybody who doesn't slow down to 25 or whatever the off-ramp speed is -- that's the first camera ticket I heard of on 6speedonline awhile back, not in a construction zone. |
