City of Plantation, Florida

Introducing our new School Zone Safety Enforcement program! Designed to remind drivers to slow down and do the speed limit in our school zones, the program entails the installation of advanced speed zone cameras to enforce posted speed limits.

The cameras will be active 30 minutes before school starts (when the speed limit is 15 mph), 30 minutes after dismissal (when the speed limit is 15 mph), and all day in between (when the speed limit reverts back to its normal posted speed).

Drivers cited for going over the speed limit will receive a $100 notice of violation. It will not count against your driver’s insurance or carry points on your driver's license. Failure to pay the notice of violation will result in a uniform traffic citation being issued, which will be processed as a normal traffic citation.

We anticipate the program to begin on January 6th, 2026 beginning with a 30 day warning period.

What does "photo enforced" mean?

Photographic evidence will be used to issue a Notice of Violation to the registered owner of a vehicle. The vehicle must exceed the posted speed limit by more than ten (10) mph. The Notice of Violation will include the date, time, location, and photographic evidence of the violation.

When and where is photo enforcement used?

The camera enforcement system will be active during the entirety of the school day session. The exact times vary depending on the individual school schedule. The speed enforcement allowable time periods are as follows:

• Within 30 minutes prior to the start of a regularly scheduled school session.
• Within 30 minutes prior to the start of the school breakfast program.
• During the hours between opening and dismissal times of the school.
• Within 30 minutes after the end of a regularly scheduled school session.

What are the benefits of photo enforcement?

• Increases safety of children and staff in school zones by deterring speeding.
• Encourages drivers to adhere to posted speed limits.
• Mitigates risks associated with speeding where children are present.

What data is captured and is that information secure?

Camera enforcement systems are set to capture data specified by the City of Plantation within local, state, and federal guidelines. This data will include photographic stills of the vehicle, and the license plate. It will also include the date, time, location, and speed.

All data is encrypted and transmitted to a secure central server, where it is digitally signed to prevent interception and manipulation, ensuring top-level protection for the chain of custody. Original images and data are securely stored in a data vault.

How much does the photo enforcement program cost taxpayers?

The photo enforcement system is entirely funded by paid violations.

Who issues the Notice of Violation?

A State of Florida traffic infraction enforcement officer employed by City of Plantation is the only agency that can decide if a Notice of Violation is justified. 

What are my options if I receive a Notice of Violation?

There are two options offered to the registered owner of the vehicle:

1. Pay the fine within 30 days from the date of issuance.
2. Request a hearing within 30 days of the date of issuance.

• Failure to follow the Notice of Violation options within 30 days of issuance will result in the issuance of a FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION.
• If the violation is satisfied in the Notice of Violation status, there is no adverse impact to the alleged violator’s driver’s license, vehicle registration or insurance.
• All options will be included in the Notice of Violation sent to the registered owner.

Will paying a Notice of Violation affect my insurance or driver's license?

No. A Notice of Violation is a civil penalty and does not affect your driving privileges or insurance.

What happens if I am the registered owner but someone else was driving the motor vehicle?

The registered owner of the vehicle involved in the violation is responsible and liable for paying the Notice of Violation issued unless the owner can show via written affidavit one of the following circumstances listed below:

• The motor vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in the care, custody, or control of another person.
• The driver of the vehicle was issued a traffic ticket by a law enforcement officer for the same alleged violation.
