Traffic cams near Everett school go live in April; more on the way

EVERETT — Bad drivers beware: Traffic cameras are coming to Everett over the next few months.

Beginning in April, traffic safety cameras will start to hand out violations in the Horizon Elementary school zone along Casino Road. Much like recently installed school zone cameras in Edmonds, violators within the first 30 days will be issued warnings.

After those 30 days, it’s a $124 ticket.

“Last spring, when school was in session, and the beacons were flashing, our vendors set up their equipment to see what the violation rate was (outside Horizon Elementary) and it was higher than anticipated,” Everett traffic engineer Corey Hert said. “Ninety-eight percent of all of the vehicles in the school zone were exceeding the posted statutory posted at 20 miles an hour, and 90% were at 25 (mph) or over.”
