Chicago police crack down on Dan Ryan expressway speeders

Although it may seem like the Dan Ryan is backed up all day, there are times when traffic volumes are low - and - motorists are driving too fast. Speeders on the Dan Ryan Expressway who are nabbed by photo-enforcement vans that rolled out this weekend will start receiving $375 tickets in the mail in the next two weeks. The white van, parked on the shoulder in the Dan Ryan construction zone, has a message board that tells you your speed as you pass by...but if you're speeding, it's too late, because inside, the photo radar enforcement is giving you a ticket.

they generally peg reverse commute lanes...and don't be surprised if they are out and about when no workers are present. It's rare that one finds the ability to go over 55 with the construction...so they also tag areas when/where they know traffic will be light. I'm all for safe construction zones...but as someone who travels the road daily...it does seem a bit speed trappy.
