I was making u turn, there was not any sign for no u turn. Cop stopped me and gave this ticket. I will have hearing in administrative hearings city of Chicago. Does anyone knows something about that?

Don't know much about the issue, but I myself would be bracing for a $100 fine. The city is thirsty, sorry to hear you got hit by that

That's good to hear that its not going on your record even though it would be considered a moving offense. Hopefully no fine but I kind of expect like $70 / $75 parking ticket worth

No U-turns within 100 feet of an intersection (roughly 4 city lots), unless there's a sign that it's ok.

Didn't know such a thing existed until a cop yelled at me for making a U-turn in front of him at the UIC Arena (no ticket, they were on traffic babysitting duty).

Best OP can hope for is that the cop who wrote the citation doesn't show up to the court date.

I see plenty of drivers doing that quick U turn, I have myself but have been deciding to look around a good bit and make that decision if not just going around a block or two to do it. But good to know

I got a warning for a u turn once. I did it right in front of him. Also cops are more aggressive this year. Be careful. The more you drive the better your vision/instincts become. I can look down side streets in a fraction of a second. I can smell a puker before they sit in my car. I can see gangster car before they target me. Stay sharp!

I got one of those administrative notice of ordinance violation BS as a livery driver.

It was for a parking in a no parking zone in front of a northwestern hospital. Me and a couple taxis were busted.

I went to 400 w superior on my scheduled court date. Filled out some paperwork before entering the room. Once I entered the room, I met with a prosecutor. He gave me a deal... either 75 or 100. I took the deal, met with the judge, said that I accept the plea and then went and paid the fine.

Pretty painless ordeal. I still don't get it why I wasn't issued a regular parking ticket and be done with it. I guess when you're a commercial driver, different rules apply to you.

I make it a weekly habit to check the status of any parking/red light/automated speed tickets. Just in case it gets "lost in the mail". hmmmmmpf

Thank you for this!! There have been a couple times i have second guessed myself and nice to know I can double check just in case!

I wonder if the prosecutor already knew if the cop(s) on the docket would/wouldn't show up that day.

For anyone who really cares---I'd bet it pays to hang out at 400 Superior and watch the adjudications---then you get a sense of how often cops show up to testify for their tickets (I'd bet that there are a lot of no-shows). Or a good lawyer who deals w/400 Superior should know.

Moral of the day: be careful folks, Rahm and idiot City Council needs cash. The easiest way is to lean on the local commanders to push their patrols to write more tickets---especially in the low crime areas.

Does it make you look guilty if your looking yourself up even if theres nothing to find? I'm debating looking myself up haha because I sometimes zone out and break the speed in a speed zone without really thinking

I hear you Zap. Does anyone know if there is a similar lookup for suburban violations? The fines double after 60 days (I think) and it's really a PITA when you not only get cited, but get a double whammy because you never saw the original citation.

The suburbs from which I have gotten red light tickets all used https://payonlineticket.com/ - you can search there.

With all these new headlights and flashing leds on stores I keep thinking I've ran a red.

Thanks for this. I've gotten flashed maybe 40 or 50 times since I started driving and wondered. Either it's because my front plate is damaged and not readable, or they're not capable of reading specialty plates? As long as I don't get sniped out of the blue.

I think that you get flashed in a school zone during the school day if you're >27mph regardless. Then someone at Bandits R Us looks at the video to see if there was a non-adult in the frame.

No. School zones are the only signs I respect because I don't trust modern parents to teach their kids common sense. You want me to slow to 25mph on Irving Park or Humboldt Park for no damned reason? We got a fundamental problem.

Thank you for answer ! I was thinking to hire the lawyer . But I see it's not big deal. I was thinking the same why he did not gave me ticket to pay.

It's a simple public records search BUT, if you want to search anonymously, consider using Tor.
