Speed cameras have gotten people to slow down their driving, at least according to the company running the cameras.
Violations decreased by 46 percent near Issaquah High School, when comparing the first and second years the cameras were installed.
“Reducing speed violations means that roads are safer for kids and their families,” said Jim Tuton, CEO of the American Traffic Solutions in a press release.
The cameras are only activated when schools are in session and children are around, he added.
Several other neighborhoods reportedly saw a decrease in speeding violations.
Lynnwood saw a 78 percent drop in violations along Meadowdale High School the second year the cameras were installed.
Bellevue Polcie saw a 20 percent drop outside Stevenson Elementary since the program was launched.
The highest speed recorded was outside Lake Forest Park Elementary, which the top violator was recorded at 53 mph, more than double the posted limit. That school saw a 47 percent drop in the number of violators last year.
