The cameras on Norpoint Way and Marine View Drive logged more than 500,000 vehicle passings in the month, according to Eric Huseby, Tacoma’s automated enforcement program manager. About three-quarters involved drivers exceeding the speed limit, he said.

Rather than cite every detected violation, the city will issue no more than 100 tickets per camera per day, citing limits on city staffing and court capacity. The system will select from the pool of speeding drivers, with more serious speeding weighted more heavily, Huseby said.

The cameras had issued warnings during an initial grace period. That period has ended, and a speeding citation now costs $145.

Residents have raised concerns about speeding on the corridor. One neighbor described the road as a daily “race track” and pointed to crashes and fatalities. City data show 232 crashes in the area over the past decade, including two deaths and five crashes resulting in serious injuries.

The city says speeding has already fallen 12% near the Norpoint Way camera and 20% near the Marine View Drive camera. Officials expect further reductions over the first six months. Tacoma plans to install six more cameras early next year on South Sprague Avenue, Pacific Avenue and Portland Avenue.
