The City of Suffolk has announced the addition of a new school zone traffic camera at the College and Career Academy on Pruden Boulevard. This installation brings the total number of Suffolk schools with speed enforcement cameras to 12.

According to the city, the new camera began its warning period on Monday, March 10, 2025. During this period, drivers exceeding the speed limit in the school zone will receive a notice instead of a monetary penalty.

The city advises that live violation enforcement will begin on Thursday, April 10, 2025. Drivers caught speeding by the camera during designated school hours will be issued a $100.00 fine.

The City of Suffolk designed the school zone traffic enforcement program to improve safety for students, staff, and families by reducing speeding in and around school zones. The cameras automatically detect speeding vehicles and issue citations.

The following schools now have traffic enforcement cameras:

• Creekside Elementary
• Elephants Fork Elementary
• Florence Bowser Elementary
• John Yeates Middle
• Kings Fork Middle
• Kings Fork High
• Nansemond Suffolk Academy – Pruden Boulevard and Harbour View Blvd
• Nansemond Parkway Elementary
• Mack Benn Jr. Elementary
• Oakland Elementary
• College and Career Academy at Pruden
