Speed Cameras

Speed cameras are placed in school zones to photograph speeding vehicles. They operate Monday to Friday, 6 AM to 10 PM, year-round.

If your car is caught speeding by a speed camera, you will be sent a Notice of Liability (NOL) in about 14 days. The fine is $50.

To learn how to pay your violation visit the Parking Ticket or Camera Violation Payment page. Learn how to fight your violation on the Parking Ticket or Camera Violation Dispute page.

The City operates speed cameras in 750 school zones. You can verify a speed camera location by making a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request to the Department of Transportation (DOT).

The NYPD also patrols school zones and issues violations for speeding. If you get a yellow violation from a police officer for speeding in a school zone, it’s considered a moving violation.

Information about paying or disputing a moving violation is on the back of the violation. For more information about moving violations, visit the Traffic Ticket page.
