A Chicago City Council committee is expected to vote on a higher threshold for speed cameras Tuesday.
Right now you can get a ticket for going at least 6 miles an hour over the speed limit.
Ninth Ward Alderman Anthony Beale has been advocating this change; he has tried for more than a year to raise the speed-camera threshold. He wants $35 tickets for drivers going 10 miles an hour over the limit, and $100 speeding tickets for those that go 11 miles per hour over the limit."And so the goal here is keep your money in your pockets. We want you to slow down. You don't have to get a ticket. Just drive the speed limit if you can, and we give you a little grace," said Gia Biagi, Chicago Department of Transportation commissioner.The vote on the speed ordinance was delayed until Tuesday.
