*Warning Period Starts November 2 for Expanded Photo Enforcement*
The City Council recently voted to expand the Kenmore Automated Photo Enforcement (KAPE [ https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.kenmorewa.gov%2Fgovernment%2Fdepartments%2Fpublic-works%2Fengineering%2Fautomated-photo-enforcement/2/0101019259568b85-cb54e031-0623-401e-a305-30dca178e3c0-000000/NNhgd6Q2nQ4IkxPGlkh3IQjHvd-Eq41Jxx89oGP4qfc=373 ]) program. This expansion introduces several key changes [ https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.kenmorewa.gov%2FHome%2FComponents%2FNews%2FNews%2F389%2F301/1/0101019259568b85-cb54e031-0623-401e-a305-30dca178e3c0-000000/OKdc_fR0A0YDjGxRk9S5-3n6pG7rb1jkLpo4liGe5Wc=373 ] aimed at enhancing traffic safety.

Photo enforcement will now apply 24/7 in the Kenmore Elementary School Zone on 73rd Avenue and also the Arrowhead Elementary school zone on Juanita Drive. This means drivers can receive a ticket anytime they are exceeding the regular speed limit of 30 mph, even when school zones are inactive. The existing 20 mph limit will still be enforced when schools are in session.

*On Saturday, November 2, a warning period for the new enforcement measures will begin. During this period, drivers exceeding the speed limit will receive warnings instead of fines. Fines for speeding violations in these school zones will begin on January 1, 2025.*

The City Council also approved adding photo enforcement to the Inglemoor High School zone. This new enforcement location does not yet have a confirmed timeline, but a warning period is planned to begin in early 2025.
