There is a street in Chicago that runs straight through a nothing-ass area. On one side there's a fenced-off neighborhood, yeah, but on the other side there's nothing but an elevated toll road.
There is no reason for anyone to cross this street on foot. I cannot emphasize enough how much nothing there is on the highway side of the street. The sidewalks are physically separated from the street by actual trees. There are three lanes each way, no stop signs, and very few stop-lights.
Just a mile down the road is Hammond, Indiana where speed cameras are illegal, and the speed limit is 40 miles per hour.
As soon as you cross the border into Chicago? It's 30.
Tell us more about how speed cameras aren't just transparent revenue-seeking.
Noise pollution is a thing.
Then maybe they should implement some traffic-calming, if they actually want slower traffic and aren't just trying to get money.
