Drivers in Bellevue will soon see more automated enforcement on city streets as officials roll out four new speed cameras Monday in an effort to curb fatal and serious-injury crashes.
The cameras are being installed along multiple streets near hospitals, parks and school walk zones, and in areas with a history of speeding and crashes.
The four locations are:
- 148th Avenue Northeast, between Northeast 13th and 10th places
- Northeast Eighth Street, between 167th Avenue and 168th Place
- Forest Drive Southeast, between 138th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 60th Street
- Forest Drive Southeast, between Southeast 54th Place and Coal Creek Parkway
The city will begin with a one-month grace period during which officers will issue warnings only.
The city said the warning period will also allow officials to calibrate and test the equipment.
After the third week of September, drivers caught speeding will face a $124 fine. The fine will be $248 for speeding in a school zone.
Bellevue also plans to add three more automated speed cameras later this year:
- Bellevue Way Southeast, adjacent to the South Bellevue Park and Ride
- Coal Creek Parkway Southeast, between Forest Drive Southeast and Southeast 60th Street
- 116th Avenue Northeast, between Northeast 21st Street and Aegis Living Bellevue Overlake, 1845 116th Ave. NE
Bellevue already operates three automated cameras in school zones.
