Red Light Cameras To Be Used To Catch School Zone Speeders
There are a lot of people who take issue with red light cameras that send tickets to people caught
running lights. Well, let's see how folks feel about those cameras being used to nab school zone speeders.
Children who walk or bike to Longfellow, Finch and Stevens elementary schools may have a safer route next year as the City of Spokane launches a camera pilot program that has been shown to drastically reduce speeds near schools in other Washington cities.
The Spokesman-Review has more on this plan.

Not sure where Finch is, but go by Longfellow a lot and occasionally by Stevens, and the speeding cars by both are a problem, so hopefully these cameras will help some.
Hopefully will be a wakeup call to some drivers before anyone gets hurt. Since one of these tickets doesn't go on your driving record, pay the fine and consider it a (expensive) lesson.
