Orlando has officially activated speed cameras across 20 school zones to monitor traffic throughout the school day. The city is issuing warning notices to drivers before transitioning to a formal civil penalty program.
Why it matters
The implementation aims to improve student safety by discouraging speeding in areas with high pedestrian activity. A warning period is in place to help residents adjust to the new enforcement rules.
The cameras are active throughout the school day at 20 locations. Drivers exceeding the limit by more than 10 mph will face a $100 civil penalty starting November 30.
