The City of Crestview, Florida has announced the launch of a new School Zone Speed Safety Program, which will utilize automated speed enforcement cameras to monitor vehicle speeds in designated school zones. The program will begin with a 30-day warning period to educate drivers before issuing $100 civil penalties for speeding violations starting on March 13, 2026.
Why it matters
Crestview has seen alarming data showing excessive speeding in school zones, with an average of over 200 speeding violations per day recorded in an initial study. This new program is part of the city's broader commitment to keeping students and school zones safe by using advanced technology to ensure consistent enforcement in areas where children are most vulnerable.
The details
The program, developed in partnership with NovoaGlobal, will use traffic enforcement cameras to monitor vehicle speeds in the school zones near Riverside Elementary and Shoal River Middle School along East Redstone Avenue. During the 30-day warning period, no fines will be issued, but beginning on March 13, 2026, civil penalties of $100 will be assessed for violations. These citations are civil, similar to a parking ticket, and will not impact driving records or insurance.
