Titusville activated automated speed cameras at six school zones on March 9, 2026, as part of an effort to improve safety near campuses. The cameras, installed outside Apollo Elementary, Coquina Elementary, Jackson Middle School, Park Avenue Christian Academy, Saint Theresa Catholic School, and Titusville High, will monitor traffic during school hours. Drivers speeding in these zones could face $100 fines after a 60-day warning period, during which no citations will be issued.
The city said each citation will be reviewed by a police officer before being sent to the registered vehicle owner. The owner has 30 days to contest the violation. The system is modeled after similar programs in central Florida, where cameras have been in use for the past year or two. Citations are triggered when vehicles exceed the posted speed limit, which is typically 25 mph in school zones.
City officials emphasized that the cameras will only operate during times when students are arriving or leaving schools. The program is starting with six campuses but could expand to four additional schools in the future. The warning period is designed to let drivers adjust to the new enforcement measure.
Residents near the schools have mixed reactions. Some parents support the initiative, saying it could reduce accidents. Others worry about privacy and the potential for false citations. The city has not provided data on expected enforcement rates or past accident trends in the targeted zones.
