West Seattle camera enforcement coming this week
by Frank Chiachiere from Seattle Transit Blog on (#5CP6Z)
Beginning today, January 11, 2021, the automated photo enforcement system on the Spokane St Swing Bridge (low bridge) will turn on, and unauthorized low bridge users will be subject to a $75 citation for every trip across the low bridge.
To keep the low bridge clear for emergency vehicles - as well as transit and heavy freight - we're saying, don't go low." Instead, please use alternate routes when traveling to and from West Seattle by car. We will be monitoring low bridge traffic volumes in early 2021, and the data from January and future months will inform whether we can expand access. See our webpage for more details.
West Seattle folks - let us know in the comments if anything's improved.
