School Zone Speeding Enforcement Expanding At Alexandria High School Campuses

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Enforcement of school zone speed limits will soon be expanded at two Alexandria City High School Campuses.

The City of Alexandria said enforcement of the school zone speed limits will be extended during the school day in addition to morning arrival and afternoon dismissal times starting on Nov. 4. The changes will take effect at Alexandria City High School's King Street and Minnie Howard campuses. The King Street campus school zone is active on King Street between Scroggins Road and Quaker Lane, and the Minnie Howard campus school zone is on Braddock Road between Marlee Way and Marlboro Drive.

The 15 mph school zone speed limit is active when the beacons are flashing on the signage. According to the city, the new enforcement schedule is intended to address high school students traveling between the campuses during the school day.

Along with increased enforcement at the high schools, the city has school zone speed cameras at three locations to issue citations when the 15 mph speed limit beacons are flashing. The locations are Francis Hammond Middle School (Seminary Road, between Kenmore Avenue and North Jordan Street), John Adams Elementary School and Ferdinand T. Day Elementary School (North Beauregard Street, between North Highview Lane and Reading Avenue), and George Washington Middle School (Mount Vernon Avenue, between Braddock Road and Luray Avenue).
