As part of Mayor Lisa Brown’s package of traffic safety improvements, new photo red traffic safety cameras will soon be activated for enforcement at the intersection of E Mission Ave and N Greene St.
The Spokane Police Department selected this intersection due to increased traffic safety concerns. The Mission and Greene intersection is among the busiest in the City of Spokane and has been the site of 18 crashes since 2023.
A 30-day grace period will begin Monday, November 24, during which violators will receive warnings. After that period, those found violating the redlight at this intersection will be charged with a $145 infraction.
“Over the past few years, Spokane has experienced an unacceptable increase in traffic collisions. Any injury or death on our road is one too many,” Director of Transportation and Sustainability Jon Snyder said. “These cameras are a great tool to remind drivers to slow down and ultimately reduce crashes.”
“The intersection of Mission and Greene has one of the highest collision rates in the City. SPD has seen a reduction in collisions, red light running, and speeds at intersections where red light violation cameras have been placed previously. Safer driving means fewer collisions and safer streets for everyone,” said Spokane Police Lieutenant Benjamin Maplethorpe.
Additional traffic safety cameras will soon be deployed near Shadle Park High School, Shaw Middle School, and at the intersection of N Division St and E Magnesium Rd.
