Seven years ago, we reported on signs that somebody put up in Arbor Heights, suggesting there were traffic-ticketing cameras where in fact there were none. SDOT told us those signs were “fake” and eventually took them down. Now, history seems to have repeated itself – this time on the Olson Place hill, where the sign above, on the westbound (uphill) side has a twin on the eastbound side, both pointed out to us by a reader. Since previously our area’s ony enforcement cameras were for school zones, red lights, and the bridge bus lane, we asked SDOT about these signs … and spokesperson Ethan Bergerson declared unequivocally that they did not install them. So, rogue signage again? P.S. Our area DOES have two new real speed-ticket cameras – for the West Seattle High School school zone on California and the Alki Elementary school zone on Admiral Way (all seven WS camera zones are on this citywide list).
