(Additional hours of activity are based on school events when students are present)

In the event a motorist receives a citation for speeding in these school zones, please note the following:

  • The citation does not get reported to DMV and, as such, will not affect your driving record. ​

  • These violations do not get reported to your insurance. The fine is a civil penalty only.

  • The Sheriff’s Office does not process payments of these fines. Please do not send payment to the Sheriff’s Office.
