Video explains Alpharetta school speed zone camera program

The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has created a video to help address questions about the city’s school speed zone camera enforcement program. The video, originally released in Feb. 2020, explains the basics of the program designed to protect Alpharetta’s students from a high number of drivers who were dangerously speeding through school zones.

According to the city, a study conducted in six Alpharetta school zones 3,557 drivers were found traveling in excess of 11 miles per hour over the posted speed limit while the school zones were active. “The sample, which was taken during a nine-hour period in April 2019, found that more than 54% of violators were traveling at least 15 miles per hour over the posted speed limit with 14.2% exceeding the speed limit by 20 to 24 miles per hour.”
