School Zone Safety Program
The Osceola County Board of County Commissioners are working together to improve community safety by approving installation of state-of-the-art digital speed safety cameras to decrease traffic violations and collisions and to help increase safety around our schools.
Osceola County has partnered with Verra Mobility to use school zone speed safety cameras at 32 locations near the county’s schools to decrease potential violations. This effort aims to protect our children from reckless drivers so they can safely get to and from school.
Speed safety cameras are proven to be effective in reducing crashes as well as pedestrian-related injuries. Most importantly, communities that use speed safety cameras consistently report safer roads around their schools.
Our school zone speed safety program helps drivers pay more attention and obey traffic control devices. This is just one of the county's tools to reduce speeding and keep the community safe.

The photo speed monitoring systems are set up with sophisticated radar equipment that monitors vehicle speeds as traffic approaches and passes the equipment.
When a vehicle exceeds the threshold limit during school hours, a photograph is taken of the vehicle. A second photograph is taken as the vehicle passes the detection zone to record the vehicle's license plate. The date, time, speed, and location of the infraction is recorded on the digital image.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office reviews each incident before issuing a citation. The citation will contain vehicle images and a close-up of the license plate.
A Notice of Violation for a speed violation will be issued if your vehicle is found to be traveling more than 10 miles per hour over the school zone speed limit during one of the following times:
- Within 30 minutes before through 30 minutes after the start of a regularly scheduled breakfast program.
- Within 30 minutes before through 30 minutes after the start of a regularly scheduled school session.
- During the entirety of a regularly scheduled school session.
- Within 30 minutes before through 30 minutes after a regularly scheduled school session ends.
