The Miami Springs Police Department presented its comprehensive **Speed Zone Cameras Annual Report** to the City Council on Monday evening, September 14, 2026. The report, which covers the program’s operations from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, reveals significant compliance data and substantial municipal revenue generated from the newly implemented automated speed enforcement zones.
Authorized under Florida House Bill 657, the automated camera system operates in designated school zones to detect and photograph vehicles traveling 11 mph or more over the active school zone speed limit during designated hours. Violators receive a statutory civil penalty of $100, which carries no points against their driver’s license and does not affect insurance rates.
