Chesterfield County is placing cameras in school zones to enforce speed limits, protect students and boost road safety. Cameras are being installed at multiple schools to ensure drivers follow posted speed limits in active school zones.
After the installation of each camera, a 30-day warning period will begin so drivers can adjust their behavior. During this time, violators will receive warnings instead of citations when their vehicles are documented going more than 10 mph over the posted speed limit in an active school zone. Speeding after the warning period will result in a $100 fine.
The cameras will enforce speed limits only while flashing warning lights are active during school hours. On school days, the warning lights are on for one hour in the morning as students arrive and one hour in the afternoon as students depart.
Automated speed cameras have been installed outside these schools:
Beulah Elementary: The 30-day warning period begins on March 24; violations will be issued beginning April 24.
Cosby High: The 30-day warning period has ended and violations are being issued.
