Traffic cameras proposed to curb frequent street racing in Seattle's Alki neighborhood

Seattle city leaders are proposing cracking down on street racing in hot spot areas with traffic cameras.

Seattle City Council’s Transportation Committee discussed proposed legislation on Tuesday that will designate several streets in West Seattle and Northeast Seattle “restricted racing zones.”

City leaders hope to catch who’s behind the wheel with traffic cameras. A 2022 change to state law allows cities to use speed cameras in areas designated as a "restricted racing zone"

It begs the question as to why so many hoops have to be jumped through to allow speed cameras in the first place.

We’re so averse to curbing dangerous driving.
