Chicago may soon deploy automated cameras to ticket drivers with loud mufflers.
Under a proposed ordinance, cameras equipped with microphones would be placed in the downtown area so tickets could be sent to violators, possibly as soon at the New Year.Backers of the proposed pilot program hope to address the negative health effects associated with loud noises: high blood pressure, depression and even heart attacks.
The cameras would also unfairly target motorcyclists because of the nature of those vehicles, he said. Cameras for the pilot will be limited to the downtown area, bound by North Avenue, Ashland Avenue, Interstate 55 and Lake Michigan. The cameras, called SoundVue Noise Camera Systems, are made by United Kingdom-based Intelligent Instruments, Kaiser said. The company has installed noise cameras in London, New York City and Knoxville, Tennessee.
A technician would review the data and determine whether a ticket should be issued, according to the proposal.
