Salem adds new traffic cameras at three intersections
Until April 15, if you’re caught speeding or running a red light on camera at the intersections of Southeast Commercial Street and Southeast Madrona Avenue, Southeast Commercial and Southeast Kuebler Boulevard, and Center Street and Northeast Hawthorne Avenue you’ll receive a warning.
After that, drivers can be fined up to $440 for speeding or $265 for running a red light at those intersections. Salem installed new traffic cameras at those south and northeast Salem intersections and began issuing warnings to speeders on April 1.
Similar cameras at other intersections in the city saw a 92% decrease in crashes after they were added, the city said in a news release.
