LOCAL NEWS - EVERETT -- Add Everett to the list of cities turning to video cameras to enforce traffic safety laws.
Later this summer, cameras will be installed at four accident-prone intersections and one school zone in Everett, issuing tickets starting at $124 each.
City officials stress the program, which they expect to decrease the number of injury accidents at intersections and gross as much as $1 million in fines during the first year, was designed to promote safety, not to generate revenue.
Clever people
and officials. It is about safety and not revenue; unlike the proposed ones in Bellingham WA - not too far away from Everett, which is about revenue.
