After a 45 day test, the grace period for school zone speed enforcement cameras on Hydraulic Road ends Monday. That’s when anyone caught violating going ten miles an hour above the speed limit will be issued a citation with a $100 fine.
Cameras outside Albemarle County Public Schools’ Lambs Lane campus have been active since September 3 and Jack Jouett District Supervisor Diantha McKeel shared some data on Wednesday.
“We found that 782 cars per day were speeding ten miles or more hour over the speed limit between school start time and end time,” McKeel said. “That’s pretty astounding.”
Violators have been issued warnings and McKeel said the data has shown a reduction in speed.
Citations do not go against a driver’s points but Supervisors are stating it is their position that the General Assembly allow that to happen.
