Those speed cameras have really been paying off for the city…

Chicago dished out 2.8 million speed tickets last year; about two-thirds of those tickets came from speed cameras. The tickets generated about $89 million for the city.

Ticket numbers rose with Mayor Lori Lightfoot‘s policy that lowered the speeding target to 6 mph from 10 mph for a $35 ticket.
