They're starting with 4 parks this week and moving to a total of 12 cameras in September spread between school zones and parks. The rationale is to have cameras at all school zones and parks by next year, somewhere around 300 total which will put roughly have the city streets in speed camera zones.

So think about this. Within a year, half of the time you're driving in the city, you'll be monitored by speed cameras. Nice huh? Tickets start at only 6 MPH over, 6-10 is a $35 fine, 11 and above is a $100 fine. As far as the hobby is concerned, hobbyists who don't live in the city and have no reason to be in the city are at an increased risk of getting a ticket mailed to our residences. I'm in the less-than-10-over club which in the past was a free ride. Now 5 over is the limit so that'll be a major change in my behavior. Or... I don't come into the city anymore unless it's unrelated to the hobby.

If you're trying to fly UTR in this hobby, stay under the 5-over rule

6-10 over gets you a ticket with the new system. Now you need to stay 5 over or less. New rules.

you need GPS with real-time updates for traffic - I think those units also get updates about red-light and speed cameras but they're only as good as the public reporting them.

This is Chicago only for now but you know it'll spread to the burbs just like the red-light cams did. Next up will be the freeways and tollways. Imagine the tollway monitoring our time between toll booths - it's illegal now but that's the next logical step.
