Bull Valley Residents Can Cheer: “We’re Number 1!”
At least in traffic tickets issued.
The Chicago Tribune front page article features Bull Valley's reputation for issuing traffic tickets to raise revenue.
The Chicago Tribune took a look at the number of traffic tickets issued by municipalities throughout the metropolitan area and discovered that tiny Bull Valley issued the most.
More than 400 per officer. 437, to be exact.
So, if a policeman worked 200 days, that would mean two a day.
There is a light at this intersection--Route 120 and Thompson Road. Be sure to use your turn signal when entering Route 120. There may be a Bull Valley Policeman nearby.
None are from red light cameras. I think the only stop light in the village is at Route 120 and Thompson Road, which leads up to the west side of Wonder Lake.
I wrote about a ticket given at that location at the end of the summer. It was for not using a turn signal to get on Route 120.
The Tribune reports Algonquin at 67 tickets per officer and Crystal Lake at 52.
