πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Everett Police Department announced a new traffic safety initiative effective August 1, 2026, focusing on high-risk intersections and school zones. The program includes increased patrols and automated speed enforcement at 12 designated locations.

The department cited a 15% increase in traffic accidents at these locations over the past year, with 30% involving pedestrians. Residents will see more visible patrols and speed cameras during peak hours, particularly near schools and busy commercial areas.

The initiative aims to improve road safety and reduce injury collisions. The department stated that data from the past year shows a correlation between increased enforcement and decreased accident rates in similar programs.
