{Coconut Creek Police Department}
Drivers in Coconut Creek may want to be extra cautious when driving near schools during arrival and dismissal times.
The speed cameras in the Coconut Creek School Zone Safety Enforcement Program are now operational at the following sites: Cougar Trail at Coconut Creek High School, NW 39th Avenue at Winston Park Elementary School, and Johnson Road at Tradewinds Elementary School.
The cameras are activated 30 minutes before school breakfast begins and run continuously until 30 minutes after dismissal.
Coconut Creek Police encourage drivers to watch their speed throughout the entire school day. For example, a driver traveling at 36 mph on Cougar Trail at 11:00 a.m. on a school day, when the posted speed limit is 25 mph, will receive a warning letter in the mail, according to police information.
There will be a 60-day warning period at each of these sites. Drivers will start receiving $100 citations if they are caught on camera exceeding the speed limit by 11 mph, beginning on May 22nd. The cameras are programmed to match the school’s hours and calendar, meaning they will not be on at night or on weekends, or anytime school is not in session, according to Coconut Creek police information.
