Smile: More Seattle school zone cameras online

Sep 2, 2014, 6:58 AM | Updated: 9:59 am

It’s back to school week for Seattle Public Schools and that means new speed cameras are going active across the city.

Five new school zone cameras go active in Seattle this week.

Two are in West Seattle outside Roxhill and Holy Family schools. There’s a new one on Beacon Hill outside Dearborn Park Elementary. There’s a new one on NE 75th at Eckstein Middle School and one on Yesler at Bailey Gatzert Elementary.

The city now has nine active speed-zone cameras outside schools. They are expected to generate nearly $9 million for the city every year.

They will give tickets when flashing, whether kids are in the area or not.

Warnings will go out for the first month, but starting October 1, tickets for speed offenders will be sent in the mail.
