Leesburg’s school zone speed cameras are a significant revenue generator, netting $53,000 in fines within their first two months of ticketing. The automated system issues $100 citations by mail to drivers exceeding the posted speed limit by 10 mph or more near four different schools. This program externalizes traffic enforcement to a surveillance system, creating a powerful financial incentive to ticket residents that may overshadow public safety goals. By automating fines based on a fixed speed threshold, the system risks punishing drivers for minor infractions without the discretion an officer might apply, raising due process concerns.
