Washington to add traffic cams to school buses

Washington State school officials are planning to install traffic cameras on school buses to catch drivers who pass the buses illegally. A new law authorizes school districts to install the cameras, which will automatically generate tickets for vehicles that pass school buses when students are boarding or alighting. The revenue from the $394 tickets is expected to cover the cost of the cameras. Any additional revenues will be used for school zone safety projects.
