What Does a Red Light Intersection Look Like?

It would be great if you could memorize where all of the red light cameras were located and drive cautiously thru those intersections. However, I realize that you can't memorize the entire list. So, I thought it would be helpful to let you see what to look for so you know where the red light cameras are located.

Almost all of the locations are marked by one of these signs.


This is what the actual camera looks like.

I have also seen cameras above the actual red light signal. I will try to get a picture of that and post it soon.

Updated Camera List

Well it looks like I made my last post a day too soon because I got an email yesterday saying that the City of Chicago website has now been updated.

The website now has all of the additional cameras that I had listed along with 20 more that haven't been activated yet. So now there are 139 red light cameras in the City of Chicago.

If you click on the list of intersections, the last 20 are the ones that haven't been activated yet, but they will be soon so please be careful. All 139 are now on the map.

As always, if you have Microsoft MapPoint and would like a copy of the file, send me an email and I will gladly email you the file. Or if you would like me to map out your route to work or any other regular route that you drive, just let me know and I can email you an html file so you don't need MapPoint to view.

New Red Light Camera

I noticed a new red light camera on Friday on my way to work at ...

N Kilpatrick Ave & W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60641

I double checked the Official City of Chicago website and they still only have the list of 112 intersections. My official tally is now up to 116.

I will update the maps shortly.
