Residents of the Northwest Side Sauganash neighborhood are saying speed cameras along Peterson Avenue are a speed trap according to ABC 7 News.

Residents say the speed limit in a stretch of Cicero Avenue between Peterson and Devon has always been 35 mph–that’s until the speed cameras went in.

Now, the speed limit is 35 mph but drops to 30 mph for about three blocks, then goes back up to 35 mph past the speed cameras.

Residents say this is the very definition of a speed trap and they don’t like it.

Here’s the full story from ABC 7 News, “Sauganash speed camera zone draws complaints for conflicting signs.”

Thanks to Barnet Fagel, the Red Light Doctor for the great tip!
