City of Mount Rainier Automated Speed Enforcement Program

The Mount Rainier Police Department is pleased to announce the implementation of the City’s Automated Speed Enforcement Program. The City is now one of many jurisdictions in the Washington Metropolitan area to use automated speed enforcement to reduce traffic crashes, pedestrian accidents and save lives. The program will provide automated enforcement in residential areas with speed limits of 35 mph or less, and school zones with the posted speed limit of 25 mph. Speed cameras provide police with one more tool to protect pedestrians and other motorists. The goal of the program is to change the behavior of aggressive drivers.

The first phase of the automated speed cameras will be posted in the following locations:

•    US 1 (Rhode Island Avenue) south of 37th Street – 1 Unit

•    US 1 (Rhode Island Avenue) north of 37th Street – 1 Unit
