October 17, 2008Spokane’s red-light cameras have captured nearly 450 violations since activated Oct. 1, police officials said.
About 95 percent of those will result in warnings being sent to the drivers, said Spokane Police Officer Teresa Fuller.
A majority of the violations have occurred at Division Street and Francis Avenue, where cameras are trained on both northbound and southbound traffic. The six lanes of traffic and 35 mph speed limit at that intersection are key reasons violations are higher, Fuller believes.
The next intersection with the most violations is Browne and Sprague, Fuller said.
Police are reviewing the violations – both videos and snapshots of vehicles running light – and sending out warnings. Fuller said it takes one to two minutes to process each one.
After Nov. 1, violations will become citations with a fine of $124.
