speeding

Speed cameras have been installed on interstate highways in northeast Indianapolis, and they are cracking down.

If for some reason you'd love to get a speeding ticket, you should plan a trip to Illinois.

Every state has areas where law enforcement likes to hang out to target speeders and hand out tickets. There's one map that shows Illinois really is just one big speed trap.

We know for a fact that traffic cameras are used in Missouri because we see them every day in Hannibal. However, are they really legal? The answer is probably more complicated than you might think.

I am not a lawyer and don't want to be a lawyer, but I'd love to understand better whether or not you can be busted by a speed camera in Illinois. The short answer is yes. The long answer is...complicated.

I was tempted to start this by saying "hey, we've all had a speeding ticket at one time or another, right?" But, after asking around a little bit, it turns out that not everyone has.
