Chicago ‘burb ditches red light cameras, no safety advantage
There are many reasons for Chicagoans to poke fun at the northwest suburb of Schaumburg, but the existence of red light cameras soon won’t be one of them. Officials expect to get rid of Schaumburg’s sole red light camera in July after the local police department has determined that it provides no appreciable safety benefits. The city originally installed the camera at a busy intersection near the ever-popular Woodfield Mall sometime last year as a testing ground before the city installed more cameras.

Mayor Larson was completely negligent on red light cameras. He was informed 9 months ago, before the cameras were installed, that they did not provide a safety benefit. His turning off was entirely politically motivated.

Mayor Larson was repeatedly warned about the lack of safety benefits from red light cameras prior to installing by the Schaumburg Freedom Coalition and others. He only changed his stance once political pressure became too harsh. Feel free to contact me at the linked website if you have any questions.
