YORK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — New school zone speed enforcement cameras in York County are activated and drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 10 mph in the designated zones will receive citations.

A 30-day warning period went into effect Aug. 26. During the 30-day warning period, violators received a warning instead of a citation. A news release from the county says citations would be issued beginning Sept. 25, but the Sheriff told WAVY enforcement actually begins on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Each citation will cost $100. These cameras will issue citations to drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 10 mph in these designated school zones.

Camera Locations:

• Bruton High School
• Dare Elementary
• Grafton Bethel Elementary School
• Seaford Elementary
• Tabb Elementary
• York High School

“… Our primary concern is the safety of our children,” Sheriff Ron Montgomery said, in a release. “By implementing school zone speed cameras, we can enforce speed limits more effectively, even when officers are not physically present. This technology ensures continuous monitoring and enhances the safety of school zones.”
