SEATTLE — Two years ago, red-light runners in Seattle began receiving photographic evidence of their traffic offenses tucked neatly in their mailboxes, along with a hefty ticket.
Starting this summer, drivers who speed through school zones will be the next target of the law-enforcement lens.
Seattle police plan to equip a van with audio, video, radar and cameras and will park it in school zones to catch people speeding and breaking other traffic laws, said Mike Quinn, a senior planner with the department. Police will just be mailing out warnings to drivers caught this summer; actual tickets will be issued after school starts in the fall.
