I have no experience with South Elgin or Batavia.. Carol Stream though was on a quota system. They also had some pride thing in wanting to be #1 in the state in DUI arrests. Obviously Carol Stream has had to change their system official with quotas now being banned. I'm sure there is some way around it though. I have noticed they are all staked out as much on North Ave anymore though.
When I lived in Lombard, they put up a few red light cameras for a trial run...After a year, they took them all down stating they did not improve safety at the intersection what so ever. Neighboring Villa Park however put a bunch up at very common right hand turn intersections. You can tell they are solely there for revenue.

North and Gary, careful there as they still sit on the SW corner. Batavia has days where they mass patrol Rte. 59, pulling people over for anything including expired tags etc. We need a list of these places to avoid.:lol:
Elgin still is installing cams on all new traffic control devices.

Yeah, I know all the places they sit in Carol Stream. Had several friends who use to live there and now I live on the border and cross through town when I go to my girlfriends. Since they put the red light camera up at North and Gary, they don't sit there as much though they are still by the abandoned bowling alley there. Usually they're doing radar inbetween Gary and Schmale. They use to be at every spot from Schmale to County Farm.
I didnt know any of Route 59 went through Batavia.

I used to take route 59 N from I-88to Army Trail Road, then take that thru Wayne Il...Talk about a speed trap..It drops to like 30 mph. The cop sits between the gas station and a country store (the only 2 buildings in town)..If you do 31..You get a ticket...lol

This was back in the 80s...Right next to the gas station there was an alley, then a general store..The cop would park in the alley with a radar gun..No kidding...31 in a 30, and you got a ticket
I took Army Trail to Dunham...Took a right to the horse stables where my horses were
