Titusville School Zone Speed Cameras Go Live March 9 with 60-Day Warning Period
The Titusville Police Department announced that Phase 1 of the city’s School Zone Speed Safety Camera program will activate on Monday, March 9, covering several school zones across the city. For the first 60 days, drivers caught exceeding the posted school zone speed limit by 11 mph or more will receive warning notices rather than citations. Enforcement citations will begin on May 8, 2026.
Phase 1 Camera Locations
The initial rollout includes cameras at six Titusville schools: Apollo Elementary School at 3085 Knox McRae Drive, Coquina Elementary School at 850 Knox McRae Drive, Andrew Jackson Middle School at 1515 Knox McRae Drive, St. Teresa Catholic School at 207 Ojibway Avenue, Park Avenue Christian Academy at 2600 S. Park Avenue, and Titusville High School at 150 S. Terrier Trail.
At Titusville High School, monitored zones will cover the school zone on the west side of the campus along South Hopkins Avenue, as well as the zone on Amos Lewis Street (formerly Sycamore Street) extending across South Hopkins on Sycamore between South Washington Avenue and the area west of the railroad tracks.
How the System Works
Cameras will be active during three windows each day: 30 minutes before school begins, throughout the full school day, and until 30 minutes after the final bell. Every warning notice and future citation will be reviewed by a police officer before being sent to the registered vehicle owner.
During the first and last hour of the school day, the reduced school zone speed limit — typically 15 to 20 mph — is in effect and signaled by flashing yellow lights. When those lights are not flashing, normal posted speeds, generally 30 to 35 mph, apply. Any vehicle traveling 11 mph or more over the posted school zone limit will activate the camera system.
Program Goals
“We encourage all drivers to slow down, stay alert, and focus on safe driving habits, especially in school zones where our children are present,” the Titusville Police Department stated in its announcement. The department said the program is focused on changing driver behavior and reducing risk to children near active school zones.
