Drivers be warned: school zone speed cameras are now in effect at Orlando’s schools.
The city installed the cameras at 20 schools, and starting Monday, drivers caught speeding in those school zones by those cameras will be sent a warning.
The warning is meant to ease drivers into the new enforcement rules. Starting Nov. 30, getting caught on camera going more than 10 mph over the school zone speed limit will lead to a $100 civil penalty instead.
Both the warnings and the penalty notices are sent to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Verra Mobility, which handles cameras in other cities and counties in the state, is managing the cameras in Orlando.
Traffic infraction enforcement officers from the Orlando Police Department, however, will review the images to determine if a person was speeding before notices or penalties are sent out.
The cameras were placed at school zones for the following schools:
- Innovation Middle School – Storey Park Boulevard
- Laureate Park Elementary School – Laureate Boulevard
- Odyssey Middle School – Lee Vista Boulevard
- Vista Pointe Elementary School – Market Place Drive
- Vista Lakes Elementary School – South Chickasaw Trail
