Chicago Traffic Cameras

Dear Chicago Members.

As the use of Cameras becomes more and more prevalant for aiding in local government funding we need to be more and more careful to obey Traffic Lights.

Here is a video of my Idiot move in West Chicago on Washington and Roosevelt Rd

CLick here to view me being stupid

Re: Chicago Traffic Cameras

the problem: your truck is too clean.

a little mud would have solved that problem.

Do those reflective plate covers do anything for you?

Re: Chicago Traffic Cameras

LOL .. so you pulled a California RollStop ... Hey Joe, did the stop say photo enforced? If not, then you can get out of it .. maybe But then again, maybe you shouldn't fight it and take it as a lesson learned.

Re: Chicago Traffic Cameras

Doh! Way to go Joe! A few tips and clues for you folks out there. At every light where there is photo enforcement there is a sign stating such. Even if there wasn't, you can't fight it since you got caught on camera. Also those plate covers don't work and are illegal in the Peoples Socialist Republic of Illinois.

The only suggestion that would have worked is a revolving plate. Even covering it in mud wouldn't help. There is a way it can be read even while caked in mud or grime. Don't ask me how they do it. It was demonstrated to us by the contractors installing them and that particular question was asked.
