Police install speed cameras in six school zones; 30-day grace period before fines
Summary
Committee was told the police department has mostly installed speed cameras at six approved school zones, with a 30-day grace period before citations begin; enforcement applies when drivers exceed posted speeds during posted school hours.
The Chair told the PED Committee that the police department has mostly finished installing speed cameras in the six school zones authorized for the program and that there will be a 30-day grace period before automated ticketing begins.
"They are, I think, mostly installed in those 6 school zones that they got approved for, and, they're gonna start the process," the Chair said during the April 9 meeting.
Committee members asked about enforcement thresholds. The Chair said the system will start issuing violations for drivers recorded exceeding the posted limit by 10 miles per hour; the school-zone speed limit will be reduced to 20 mph during the posted hours that apply to the camera enforcement.
The committee did not take any enforcement policy action; the Chair described the rollout as an operational update from the police department.
