City to Remove Red Light Cams from 18 Intersections

According to NBC5Chicago, the city is going to remove red light cameras from 18 intersections because of low crash rates.  I'm not sure when the cameras will be removed, so please let me know if you see them come down before my next post so I can update the locations and maps.

The 18 intersections where red light cameras will be removed are:
  • Osceola and Touhy Avenues
  • Kedzie and Devon Avenues
  • Harlem and Higgins Avenues
  • Sheridan Road and Hollywood Avenue
  • Austin and Belmont Avenues
  • Cicero and Belmont Avenues
  • Halsted and Belmont Avenues
  • California and North Avenues
  • Wells and North Avenues
  • Kostner Avenue and Division Street
  • Clark Street and Cermak Road
  • California Avenue and 35th Street
  • California Avenue and 47th Street
  • Pulaski Road and 71st Street
  • Wentworth Avenue and 65th Street
  • Racine Avenue and 79th Street
  • 79th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue
  • Stony Island Avenue and 89th Street

This is as least a small sign of progress in the fight against these revenue generating red light and speed cameras.
