Requires the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to install and maintain automated traffic safety systems along traffic routes within a one-half mile radius of: (1) the eastern entrance to O'Hare International Airport; and (2) the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 294 (rather than a 2-mile radius surrounding O'Hare International Airport).

Provides that recorded images made by an automated traffic safety system are confidential and shall be made available only (i) to the alleged violator and governmental and law enforcement agencies; or (ii) in response to a lawful subpoena. Provides that a recorded image evidencing a violation of this Act may be admissible in a proceeding resulting from the issuance of a citation.
