The city operates the School Zone Safety Program in partnership with RedSpeed. Cameras are designed to deter speeding and will capture violations only while school zone flashing lights are activated.

The new locations and enforcement times are:

  • 2051 Clint Moore Road
  • Morning: 7:05 a.m. to 8:05 a.m.
  • Afternoon: 2 p.m. to 2:35 p.m.

Blue Lake Elementary School

  • Military Trail and Potomac Road
  • Morning: 7:20 a.m. to 8:05 a.m.
  • Afternoon: 2 p.m. to 2:35 p.m.

Omni Middle School/Spanish River High School

  • Jog Road and Yamato Road
  • Morning: 7 a.m. to 9:35 a.m.
  • Afternoon: 2:45 p.m. to 4:35 p.m.

Each school zone will have a 30-day warning period when its cameras are first activated.

After the warning period ends, drivers traveling at least 11 mph over the posted speed limit while the school zone lights are flashing can receive a $100 civil penalty.
