Citation Period Begins For Several Speed Camera Locations: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — Fines will now be issued for those who violate the posted speed limit in four school zone areas, the Greenwich Police Department announced this week.

The warning period has ended at the following four camera locations:

• Central Middle School – Indian Rock Lane
• Glenville School – Riversville Road
• Greenwich High School – Hillside Road
• Parkway School – Lower Cross Road

Fines will be mailed to the address of the registered owner’s address. Police have said these citations will not carry points on licenses or impact insurance, "but they are to be taken seriously as each infraction is exponentially endangering the lives of students in and near the school zone."

An initial violation will cost drivers $50, and each subsequent violation is $75.

The speed camera enforcement program "aims to positively influence long-term driving behavior by encouraging motorists to slow down," police said, noting the amount of speeding observed in school zones is "staggering."

The cameras will only detect vehicles exceeding the speed limit in school zones and will only be enforced when school is in session, when lights are flashing, and when children are on school grounds.
