Bibb County to Resume School Zone Speeding Citations with New Guidelines

Bibb County Sheriff David Davis has announced that school zone speeding citations will resume on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 6:00 AM, with specific guidelines in place.

Citations for speeding in school zones will only be issued during the morning and afternoon hours when the yellow school zone warning lights are flashing. No citations will be given when the lights are not active.

Furthermore, a citation will only be issued if a vehicle is traveling at least eleven (11) miles per hour over the posted speed limit associated with the flashing school zone lights.

Sheriff Davis also addressed Georgia Code § 40-14-18 (a) (2), which grants schools the option to participate in the automated traffic enforcement safety device (school zone camera) program after obtaining a permit from the Department of Transportation.

He noted that Stratford Academy and First Presbyterian Day School, which previously had permits, have chosen to opt out of the school zone camera program, and their permits have been canceled. Consequently, no school zone camera speeding citations will be issued at these two schools.
