Speeding drivers beware: Cameras back in school zones
Just in the nick of time, before 1.1 million students return to school, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill on Tuesday allowing the city to once again hit drivers with tickets for speeding in school zones.
Under a law that went into effect immediately after de Blasio signed it, the owners of vehicles caught by a camera in a school zone exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles an hour will be slapped with a $50 ticket.
The bill was signed Sept. 4, one day before the opening of city schools on Sept. 5.
