AUTOMATED TRAFFIC LAW
ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS
ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS
(A) Pursuant to the Illinois Vehicle Code, as amended by Public Act 94-0795, municipalities in the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair and Will are authorized to provide by ordinance for automated traffic law enforcement systems, as that term is defined in § 11-208.6 of the Vehicle Code, being 65 ILCS 11-208.6.
(B) Establishing automated traffic law enforcement systems at specified intersections in the city at which traffic is controlled by signals exhibiting different colored lights or color lighted arrows will benefit the public health, safety and welfare by deterring drivers from entering those intersections in violation of red light signals, thereby decreasing the potential for personal injury and property damage due to vehicle collisions caused by red light violations.
(C) It is therefore in the best interests of the city to establish automated traffic law enforcement systems and to provide for administrative adjudication of automated traffic law violations as specified in this subchapter.
