If you’ve noticed more speed enforcement cameras around Virginia, you’re not imagining it. These cameras are used in active school zones and highway work zones to improve safety—and they can result in a civil penalty if you’re caught speeding.
A few things to know:
• 📸 Cameras are used only in authorized locations.
• 🚸 School zone cameras generally operate during designated school hours.
• 🚧 Work zone cameras may be active when workers are present or as permitted by law.
• ⚖️ Camera-based violations are treated as civil penalties (similar to a parking ticket) and are mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
• 🚗 Violations are typically issued for speeds of 10 mph or more above the posted limit.
The best way to avoid a citation? Slow down, stay alert, and watch for posted signs indicating automated speed enforcement.
