Police Urge You to Actually Stop During "Stop on Red Week"

This week (August 2-8) is the Federal Highway Administration's "Stop on Red Week." No, they mean seriously, full stop, it's the law! West Seattle Blog alerted us to the Seattle Police Department's participation in "Stop on Red Week"--it's designed to provide a firm reminder to red-light runners and coasters, urging drivers to actually stop at a red light (right turns included), and to also promote the SPD's partnership with American Traffic Solutions, who created the city's new fancy-schmancy photo-enforcement cameras. We'll finally see all 30 red light safety cameras in action, issuing $124 tickets at new(er) locations throughout the city by the summer's end.
