Overview
- Philadelphia will begin a 60-day warning period on Feb. 17, with full ticketing to start on April 20.
- Tickets will be issued only when school flashers are on during arrival and dismissal hours, with no operation on holidays.
- Violations of 11 mph or more over the school-zone limit will carry a $100 fine and will not add points to a driver’s license.
- The five sites were chosen using 2019–2023 PennDOT data showing 10 fatal or serious-injury crashes and 25 pedestrian crashes near these schools.
- Cameras are portable street-level units limited by state law to five active zones at a time, and officials point to Roosevelt Boulevard results showing sharp reductions in speeding and pedestrian crashes.
