The default speed limit on many Chicago streets is 30 miles an hour, but safety activists argue that it should be lowered, and some members of the City Council agree.
Some of those testifying before the committee would like to see the city reduce speed limits by five miles an hour. In a recent study, the Illinois Policy Institute found that speed cams are a major source of revenue for Chicago, issuing tickets every 20 seconds. Last year alone, the group said cameras raised over $102 Million. Lower speed limits, the IPI said, could increases costs for motorists.
