Thank you for contacting us with this concern. Could you please clarify if you are requesting the City make infrastructure changes to address speeding vehicles or are you wanting law enforcement to made aware of the excessive speeding? This clarification will ensure this request is routed to the appropriate place.

I will add that most if not all of the people driving on this road are violating the school zone speed limit during school hours.

How bout issue speeding tickets to pay for the infrastructure. Shouldn't take long.

At the very least implement automated photo enforced speed cameras if we can't depend on law enforcement to monitor and issue speeding tickets. 25th Avenue NE has become popular for drag racers with loud mufflers and motors. Thank you to the original poster for raising awareness to this issue.

I went walking around the high school, often I saw a group of young men with their Fast & Furious cars raving up engines ans doing donut on the school parking lots. When they left, they sped on 25th Ave NE all the way to 155th

Thank you all for your comments. This service request has been assigned to the Traffic Engineer to address the request for photo enforcement. The other concerns regarding speeding, revving of engines, and doing donuts in parking lots were passed along to law enforcement. If you would like to report traffic violations and/or reckless driving as it is occurring you can contact King County non-emergency at 206-296-3311 or 911 if you feel it is an emergency.

Thank you for your consideration and action. I believe the photo enforcement is a great step in the right direction, as well as making law enforcement aware of the situation. I believe that there are cameras in the Shorecrest parking lot that may be able to identify vehicles that participate in dangerous operation there. As for the speeding on the street, I challenge the Traffic Engineer to strongly consider installing speed bumps on 25th Ave NE. I think the addition of speed bumps (especially near the schools) would have a significant impact and would slow vehicles down without the need for law enforcement to be physically present.

Thank you The City of Shoreline for listening, caring and for your action to improve lives in our community. I vote for speed bumps installation in front of the Shorecrest and Kellogg School. It's a small investment to save lives and to keep our neighborhood safe. Those race cars will stay away, they care for their low riders than people safety.

Thank you for assigning this request to a Traffic Engineer. One other thing I will add (in addition to the speed bump idea and photo enforcement) is lowering the speed limit to 25 mph on this street. There is no reason for it to be 30 mph. If anything, it gives people permission to go 35 mph. Even 30 mph is just too fast for a street where children are present and trusting that people will actually reduce their speed limit from 30 to 20 for school zone seems impractical.

Just watched 3 hundred pound 16 year old boys playing a game of chicken to pass a car going normal speed in front of the high school, driving a white Mercedes SUV, white Dodge Challenger, and 90's green mustang. Very dangerous, completely unnecessary, where are the speedbumps and police?

Thanks for writing in with your concerns about speeding and safety on 25th Ave NE. These concerns have been shared with Shoreline Police Department. The City reviews traffic safety holistically and citywide through a process called our Annual Traffic Report. This process reviews all collision data in the City on an annual basis in order to determine strategic safety mitigation projects to address problem locations. This data-driven process is important in order to get the most benefit out of the very limited traffic safety resource available, by prioritizing locations with a consistent history of collisions. Relatively recently, a high number collisions at 25th Ave NE and NE 150th Street resulted in the implementation of all way stop control to improve safety, however no other areas of 25th Ave NE have risen to the priority list in recent years. The Annual Traffic Report is available online at: https://www.shorelinewa.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/49572/637378391275930000

With regard to implementing Automated School Speed Zone Enforcement – this can only be done through Council action. The last time staff discussed this potential tool with Council (in 2018), it was determined not to be a workplan priority at that time.

With regard to other traffic calming measures, since 25th Ave NE is an arterial, it is not eligible for physical devices such as speed humps since it serves as an important connection for emergency vehicle response, trucks, buses, and high volumes of traffic. Generally speaking, speed humps are not appropriate for these kinds of streets. We will continue to monitor collision trends and traffic data.
