Yes, these sneaky suckers still exist in Illinois. Rural farmland and less populated areas aren’t the problem. Look out for cameras in larger metro areas. The greater Chicago region happens to have quite a few of these bad boys.
As of 2021, there were 149 local intersections impacted. These cameras are workhorses. Red light cameras do their jobs 24/7. Every. Single. Day.
The program continues since its inception in 2003. The hope is that this system will discourage running red lights. More importantly, the idea is to increase safety and save lives.
