Speed and red light cameras are common across western Washington. Now, new technology could be on the way to nab cars, trucks and motorcycles that make too much noise. Kirkland is the first city in the state to deploy a six-month pilot program that will capture sound and video at specific intersections and analyze the clips to determine whether they violate state noise laws. Kirkland Police Chief Cherie Harris said as it stands now, enforcing vehicle noise laws is nearly impossible. "The problem is officers having the time to do that and all that it would really take to do enforcement," she said. "This is targeted at drivers who are creating noise on purpose." Two locations that will see the devices in Kirkland are Central Way at 6th Street and Lake Washington Blvd at 59th near Houghton Beach Park. The Houghton Beach location is already operational. That's where Dan Japhet walks his dog, Briggs, every day. He hears the racket as traffic howls by. "The motorcycles are the worst," he said. "I don't get it. They must really like the sound of those motorcycles. I sure don't." Kirkland police say complaints about noisy, speeding vehicles have more than tripled since last year.
