I know this intersection. It's at the corner of State and Division, in the heart of the Rush Street neighborhood.
The likely reason there are many tickets there is that there are many bars there, and great crowds of people who have had a bit too much to drink. There are also great crowds of cops there every weekend.
Without looking at the data, I'd expect that many of the tickets are getting written in the middle of the night, when people are too inebriated, or too distracted, to read signs carefully.
- gt_ 8y agoDid the bars close when the new signs went up? Coincidentally or otherwise?
- ccleve 8y agoThe new signs caused the rate of tickets at the spot to slow down, not stop. According to the charts, there are still 300 tickets per year being written at that one spot. That is huge. It's not a coincidence that that huge number of tickets is being written in a busy bar area.
- gt_ 8y agoWho said they stopped? You must have meant to reply to someone else.
- snappieT 8y agoToo inebriated to read a sign but safe enough to drive a metal box at high speeds? Not saying the signage was clear, but that is a very very weak excuse to not understand them.
- ccleve 8y agoExplanation != excuse.
