Call for establishment of interagency working group to assess and redesign speed limit enforcement structure and practices in City of Chicago
In 2023, Chicago's 162 speed cameras issued 1,562,413 tickets, accruing $46.9 million in base fines and $55.4 million in late fees, disproportionately impacting Black and Latine communities. The National Roadway Safety Strategy and Fines and Fees Justice Center suggest managing speeds through roadway design, infrastructure factors, non-financial sanctions, and graduated responses to mitigate ticket-induced economic hardships and strained law enforcement relationships.
