The Chicago Department of Transportation announced seven new speed enforcement cameras set to be activated this month.

Each camera will have a 30-day warning period to start, when no fines will be issued. After that, citations will be issued to drivers who exceed the speed limit by six mph or more.

If vehicles are driving six to 10 mph over the speed limit, they will be fined $35. Drivers traveling 11 mph or more over the limit will be fined $100.

There will also be a blackout period, in which cameras will record violations but will not issue fines.

Chicago’s speed camera program aims to improve traffic safety, encourage safer driving and reduce crashes, the city’s website said.

Most cameras are located near parks and school zones.
