Bradenton School Zone Cameras Catch 50 Speeding Drivers on First Day of School

On Monday, the first day of the 2025-2026 school year, speed zone cameras in Bradenton recorded 50 violations during school hours. Each violation involved a driver exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 10 mph, resulting in a $100 citation for the registered owner of the vehicle.

The speed-enforcement program is part of the city’s effort to improve safety for students, parents, and crossing guards in designated school zones. Officials remind drivers to remain alert, obey posted speed limits, and plan for extra travel time during peak drop-off and pick-up hours.
