No thanks, I’m good. You guys go ahead and ticket each other until you all go bankrupt. The rest of us will just stand right here and watch the whole stupidity unfold.

I disagree slightly. I believe these stops are planned with an evil purpose. If I want never to get a ticket, just don’t drive there. See how simple? And if you don’t know that… because you’re not from here in the specific neighborhood, then guess what?..oh you’re riding along on a 30mph zone…hello! Don’t you see the sign behind the parked truck? It’s 20 when kids are present! 20? That was back there, now it’s 35! Nope back to 30…hey school zone again!
I wish I was kidding but that shit gets old. If I could just set my car to GPS speed track that would be awesome. But I have not mentioned the worst part. Wouldn’t you just learn to avoid that road? Yes. Normally yes. But it’s the fucking way to the freeway! Why would you put every fucking school in the city on the way to the freeway? Those are the busiest roads for obvious reasons. Some parents would use a T-shirt bazooka to toss their kids safely to school from a moving car if that was an option. What about placing the schools in quiet roads? Nah, you’ll never ticket anyone that way! And that’s the problem! I’m in Bothell and I need to pass thru Lynnwood every day thru the front of a school zone. Every day I see the fucking cop stopping somebody for going 22 or even 20.5mph on the 20mph zone. And it leads to the 5 freeway entrance. It a troll situation. Sure the kids are safer. But I much rather have a traffic top light or two so the kids can cross safely. Nope, a cop! Because Lynnwood is a rich area so a cop can extract money. However as I enter Everette, at the exit of the freeway there’s a school zone fairly close to Boeing. Everyone drives 35 or 40mph there even though there’s a sign and it flashes the speed limit at you. So you see. There’s nothing to do with kid safety and mostly to do with revenue making.
Neither Lynnwood nor Everett is part of the City of Seattle. There is a separate local government for each of those three areas, with separate people setting a separate agenda, prioritizing separate resources.
The government of Seattle cannot install cameras in Everett to increase safety there (or even for fundraising).
