Henrico County Eyes School Zone Speed Cameras | Richmond News

Henrico County is set to roll out speed cameras in all high school zones and two middle schools to boost student safety—following a similar model already used in Central Virginia. Drivers caught speeding 10 mph or more over the limit in active school zones could face a $100 civil ticket, no license points, and flashing lights like those during school hours. The plan, still in early stages, awaits approval from the Henrico Board of Supervisors next Tuesday, with a public hearing scheduled for September 8. If approved, cameras could begin operating as early as 2027, preceded by a public education campaign and warning period. All fines will fund traffic safety initiatives, including speed monitoring and stop sign enforcement, aiming to encourage safer driving—not replace officers—so every kid gets home safe.
