Bellevue’s Speed Trap or Safety Net? Community Weighs In!

Bellevue is kicking things up a notch with its speed safety camera program, and it wants to hear from you! That’s right—if you’ve ever felt the sting of a speeding ticket or just been too speedy in the school zone, the city is opening the floor for feedback on expanding its camera placements. This means more eyes on the road, targeting not just reckless drivers, but also those speeding near hospitals and school zones. After all, safety is no accident, right?

As part of its Vision Zero strategy, Bellevue’s goal is pretty ambitious: to eliminate serious traffic crashes by 2030. Residents can partake in the decision-making process through an online questionnaire. So, if you think the last thing we need is more camera enforcement, or if you believe two lanes aren’t enough to keep us in check, now’s your chance to make your voice heard! Who doesn’t love a little power in shaping their community’s safety measures?

With the potential introduction of more speed cameras, it’s sure to stir a mix of excitement and skepticism. Are these cameras a smart safety measure or just another way to boost fines and fund the city’s budget? Let us know what you think! Would you prefer more road safety measures, or are you a firm believer in good old-fashioned driving responsibility?
