Palatka plans school zone speed cameras for safety

news.yahoo.com

Palatka city leaders are advancing a proposal to install automated speed cameras in school zones. The City Commission voted unanimously to move forward, but the ordinance still needs final approval. If approved, the cameras will operate on school days, enforcing speed limits 30 minutes before and after school. Drivers exceeding the limit by 11 mph or more will face a $100 fine. Florida law allows these systems, and cities must conduct a public awareness campaign before enforcement begins. Nearby Neptune Beach has already started a warning period, with tickets set to begin on April 14.
