Redmond school zone speed cameras cannot reduce speeding related injuries
REDMOND, Wash. — Speed cameras were installed in Redmond to support the Safer Streets Action Plan goal of cutting fatal and serious-injury crashes 50% by 2030. Redmond’s Speed Camera Program Analysis tallied injuried and fatal accidents over a 5 year period (2019–2024) for 3 school zones and 6 parks.
- School zones chosen for cameras: 16 crashes total, 0 fatal, 4 injuries
- Park zones surveyed but not chosen: 155 crashes, 1 death, 36 injuries
The analysis identifies parks as significantly more dangerous than school zones.
