City of Opa-Locka School Zone Safety Program
The Opa-Locka Police Department is working to improve community safety by installing state-of-the-art digital speed safety cameras to decrease traffic violations and collisions and to help increase safety around our schools.
That’s why the city has partnered with Verra Mobility to use school zone speed safety cameras at eight high-risk locations near the town’s schools to decrease potential violations. This effort aims to protect our students 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. We want to stop this behavior before it becomes fatal. The cameras will enforce speeding violations during the entire school day as a show of commitment to student safety whenever they leave home.
Cameras will be placed near the entrances of the following schools: Robert B. Ingram Elementary School, Nathan B. Young Elementary School and Opa-Locka Elementary School.
Our school zone speed safety program helps drivers pay more attention and obey traffic laws.
