The goal of photo enforcement is to improve safety through a reduction in traffic violations at specific school zones and intersections where data has shown a high level of crashes and/or speed violations. Everett’s ordinance is unique in that any proceeds from photo enforcement must go toward traffic safety projects or programs.
The activation of traffic safety cameras is set to begin in the spring of 2024. The Horizon Elementary school zone along Casino Road will be the first active photo enforcement location. Additional red-light cameras will be activated in summer of 2024.
