King 5 reports that Bellevue Police issued 163% more speeding tickets since January than last year, and will expand to ticketing people racing or have loud exhaust. This report follows the fatal accident of an 18 year old motorcyclist who was racing on NE 8th and 116th. The Police spokesman said their goal is to modify the behavior to stop illegal racing not about revenue.

As a resident on 148th near Crossroads, where racing happens too frequently, Iām relieved the BPD is doing something. I hope they solve this long term. We all want to see racing stop, loud exhaust be banned, and feel safe again on our sidewalks and streets.
