School Zone Automated Speed Enforcement

The City of Edmonds is prioritizing the safety of its students and community with the implementation of the School Zone Automated Speed Enforcement Program. Approved by the City Council in May 2023, this initiative responds to numerous complaints from concerned parents and local residents about speeding in school zones. The program will utilize automated speed cameras to monitor and regulate traffic, aiming to foster a safer environment for children walking to and from school. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance walkability and community safety, demonstrating the city’s commitment to protecting its youth. As installation progresses, the Edmonds Police Department will address ongoing safety concerns and improve awareness among motorists.

The city hopes that the automated enforcement will serve as a deterrent to speeding, ultimately reducing accidents in these critical areas. Community engagement is vital, and residents are encouraged to stay informed about the program's implementation and expected benefits.
