SUFFOLK, Va. — Many schools in Suffolk have installed cameras to help enforce speed limits in school zones — once a new camera starts operations, it enters a 30-day warning period.
The newest school zone traffic camera was installed at the College and Career Academy on Pruden Boulevard. Starting Mar. 10, it will enter its warning period — drivers will receive a notice instead of a fine.
