Bellevue is seeking community input on a proposal to expand its speed safety camera program, part of its effort to eliminate serious traffic crashes.

The proposal would install speed cameras in more areas, including hospitals, school zones, and crash-prone roads.

Speeding remains a leading cause of fatal and serious crashes in Bellevue, according to officials. The city’s broader deployment of cameras is part of its Vision Zero strategy, a commitment to end severe traffic injuries and fatalities by 2030. 

Bellevue seeks input on plan to expand speed camera enforcement program

Bellevue said it will review camera placement to ensure no single community is disproportionately affected. Officials said they are committed to ensuring that no single community is unfairly targeted.

The money collected from camera fines would also support low-income neighborhoods and areas with higher numbers of traffic crashes.
