How Do School Speed Cameras Work?
The school speed cameras in Osceola County operate by using radar or laser sensors to detect vehicles exceeding the posted speed limits in school zones. When a vehicle exceeds the speed threshold, the camera captures an image of the vehicle's license plate, along with a timestamp and location details. The recorded information is then reviewed by law enforcement officers, who issue a citation to the registered owner of the vehicle.

Speed Limits and Fines in School Zones
In Osceola County, the speed limits in school zones are significantly lower than those on regular roads to ensure the safety of students. The standard speed limit in school zones is 20 mph when children are present, but it may vary slightly depending on the specific location and local regulations. The speed limit will be clearly posted in each school zone, and it's essential for drivers to be vigilant, especially during school hours and when children are arriving or leaving school.
For violations, drivers caught speeding by the school speed cameras will receive a citation that includes a fine. The fine for speeding in a school zone can vary but typically starts around $158 for going up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit. The fines increase with the severity of the violation, and there may be additional penalties for higher speeds. Repeat offenders or those caught speeding significantly over the limit may face higher fines or other consequences.
It's important to note that there is no option to attend traffic school to dismiss these citations. The fines are issued automatically, and drivers are held accountable based on the evidence captured by the cameras.

Red light cameras are located on the side or the corner of the intersection. Drivers often mistake traffic cameras which are located on the traffic pole.
