For all of you NASCAR and IRL lovers out there cruising through downtown Spokane comes this friendly reminder from the Spokane Police Department:

The City of Spokane is announcing its red-light safety cameras will begin taking photos of red-light runners at several intersections beginning tomorrow morning, October 1st at 8:00am. During the 30-day warning period, the photo enforcement cameras will capture still images and video of red-light running violations. A warning notice will be issued to the vehicle’s owner. There is no fine for this warning notice. At the completion of the warning period, November 1st, citations will be issued.

The photo enforcement cameras are located at the following intersections:

Browne St. southbound at Sprague Ave.

Hamilton St. northbound at Mission Ave.

Division St. north and southbound at Francis Ave.

“The warning period will give our residents an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the public safety goals of our red-light program before the actual citations begin,” said Sgt. Eric Olsen. “This is a public safety program and our goal is to stop red-light runners and prevent collisions resulting from red-light runners.”

Cameras operate 24-hours a day and capture images of every vehicle running a red light at the intersection. Warning signs alerting drivers to the red-light cameras have been installed prior to the warning period. After the warning period is complete, drivers who run red lights at the designated intersections will be issued a violation. American Traffic Solutions, Inc. (ATS) administers the program with each violation reviewed and approved by the Spokane Police Department prior to being issued.
