    • All options will be included in the Notice of Violation sent to the registered owner.
  • What are the benefits of photo enforcement?

    • Increases safety of children and staff in school zones by deterring speeding.
    • Encourages drivers to adhere to posted speed limits.
    • Mitigates risks associated with speeding where children are present.
  • What data are the cameras capturing and is that information secure?

    Camera enforcement systems are set to capture data specified by the City of Delray Beach within local, state, and federal guidelines. This data will include photographic stills of the vehicle, and the license plate. It will also include the date, time, location, and speed.

    All data is encrypted and transmitted to a secure central server, where it is digitally signed to prevent interception and manipulation, ensuring top-level protection for the chain of custody. Original images and data are securely stored in a data vault.

  • What does “photo enforced” mean?

    Photographic evidence will be used to issue a Notice of Violation to the registered owner of a vehicle. The vehicle must exceed the posted speed limit by more than eleven (11) mph. The Notice of Violation will include the date, time, location, and photographic evidence of the violation.

  • What happens if I am the registered owner but someone else was driving the motor vehicle?

    The registered owner of the vehicle involved in the violation is responsible and liable for paying the Notice of Violation issued unless the owner can show via written affidavit one of the following circumstances listed below:

    • The motor vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in the care, custody, or control of another person.
    • The driver of the vehicle was issued a traffic ticket by a law enforcement officer for the same alleged violation.
  • What is the School Zone Camera Safety Program?

    House Bill 657 is a Florida law that was approved by the Florida Legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 31st, 2023. Under this law, the use of cameras is authorized to enforce speeding violations throughout the school day. The City of Delray Beach will implement the school camera safety program for the 2024 - 2025 school year and beyond.

  • When and where is photo enforcement used?

    The camera enforcement system will be active during the school day session. The exact times vary depending on the individual school schedule. The speed enforcement allowable time periods are as follows:
