The City of Bellevue is growing as it extends its automated traffic safety program through the addition of speedy safety cameras at 4 different locations the week of August 17th. The locations cover areas of school walk zones, corridors with well documented history of speed-related crashes, hospitals, parks etc

The Speed cameras to be installed are a way to curtail the speed crashes which cause fatalities and grave injuries in Bellevue and are a proven method to reduce speeding. With speed being one of the top contributing factors to these fatalities and injuries, the cameras are designed to help change driver behavior, reduce speeding and make a safer road enviroment for all travelers in Bellevue.

Bellevue city also deploys speed safety cameras at various locations in the city as part of its ongoing commitment to Vision Zero, a national program that works to eliminate deaths and serious injury caused by traffic.

To help drivers get used to the scheme there will be a month long warning period for each new camera placement. It means that drivers who violate stipulated speed limit will be issued warnings rather than penalties during the warning period. To assist with program administration, Bellevue entered into a contract with Verra Mobility, a supplier of automated traffic enforcement equipment.
