West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, November 5, 2026 — Boca Raton has announced the expansion of its school zone speed camera program, introducing new enforcement measures at four additional school locations. The cameras are now operational at Calusa Elementary School, Blue Lake Elementary School, Omni Middle School, and Spanish River High School. This addition brings the total number of school zones equipped with speed cameras in the city to six.

The new cameras are designed to enhance safety for students, staff, and drivers by monitoring vehicle speeds within designated school zones. According to the program’s guidelines, the cameras will become active specifically when the school zone lights are flashing, indicating active school zone hours. This timing ensures that enforcement is focused during periods when children are most likely to be present and traffic safety is a primary concern.

Following the activation of the cameras, the city will implement a warning period. During this phase, drivers exceeding the posted speed limit in the school zones will receive warnings. The duration of this warning period was not specified. After the warning period concludes, civil penalties will be issued for any instances of speeding captured by the cameras. The specific amounts for these civil penalties were not provided.

The expansion of the program aims to reinforce adherence to speed limits in areas frequented by young pedestrians and cyclists. The previous two school zones with speed cameras were not detailed in the announcement. City officials emphasize that the objective is to deter speeding and prevent accidents, thereby creating a safer environment around educational institutions.
