SCHOOL ZONE CAMERA UPDATE
The City of Lakeland is continuing to activate the new school-zone speed cameras near select schools in Lakeland. At this time the program will remain in an educational warning phase. All drivers traveling more than 10 miles per hour over the posted school-zone speed limit while the school-zone flashing lights are active will be found in violation and receive a warning notice only.
A public update will be sent out once a citation live date is determined. Until then, we ask drivers to slow down and pay attention, especially in areas near our schools.
