Our community in Lake Stevens, WA, finds itself facing a growing predicament. Our police force, like many across the country, is stretched thin, and consequentially, enabling a lack of speed regulation enforcement within local school zones. This situation leaves our most vulnerable residents – our children – at risk.

We are at a time when the safety of our children should be our topmost priority. Traffic violations along Lake Drive and other school zones cannot be ignored - each careless speeding act is a potential threat to our children's safety.

As per a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, speed cameras significantly reduce speeding violations. Hence, we call on our local governance to take immediate action. We request a comprehensive review and revision of the traffic regulations and enforcement measures in Lake Stevens, particularly around school zones. The urgency to install speed cameras along Lake Drive and other school zones is evident.

This strategy goes beyond just issuing speeding tickets. It's a commitment to secure our children's safety and exhibit responsible citizenship. This action will ensure that our school zones offer a safer environment for our children and provide some much-needed support to our efficient but overburdened police force.

It's high time we take action and rectify this situation. Please, sign this petition to urge the responsible authorities to make traffic revisions and install speed cameras in all school zones in Lake Stevens, WA. Ensure our children's journey to and from school is safe. Your signature can effect change in our community and protect our children.
