SPOKANE, Wash. — Traffic enforcement cameras at one Spokane intersection caught nearly 500 red light violations in a single month, according to a new report from the Spokane City Council Public Safety and Community Health Committee.
The tiny photo red cameras at the intersection of Mission Avenue and Green Street caught 492 violations in just the month of January. The violations generated approximately $110,000 in revenue for the city during the month.
The city says since 2024, there has been an increase of more than 400 violations in the same time frame.
“I think that that’s crazy that there’s over 400 people that have gotten a ticket over running a red light,” said Gaby Rogers, a Spokane resident.
The freshly installed cameras at Mission and Green led all intersections in violations. Freya and Third was second with less than half of the violations at 204. In third and fourth place are Thor and Second with 176 violations, and Browne and Sprague close behind with 159.
Some residents suggested why the violation numbers might be so high at certain intersections.
“With the other ones that we have downtown, the photo cameras, you see and you hear the flash like it is like an actual like, you know, it’s happening. I don’t really see that happening down here. So, I think people realize, and I think that’s why people blow it off,” said Ethan Elliot, a Spokane resident.
The city also reported Nevada Street and Longfellow Avenue had 403 violations caught on speeding cameras.
