The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reminds motorists to be careful when driving through school zones now that classes have begun for another year.
PBSO began its Selective Traffic Enforcement Program for School Zones on the first day of school, Monday, Aug. 22. The purpose is to provide a safe environment for all school age children, parents, teachers and the citizens of Palm Beach County that drive or walk through the various school zones.
Traffic enforcement will include: speed enforcement, parking enforcement, bicycle helmet enforcement and items related to student, teacher, parent and motoring public safety.
The enforcement program will take place at elementary and middle schools in Palm Beach County from 7 to 9 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m.
The sheriff said to pay attention to school zones and reduce speed in these areas. Speeding citations given in school zones have fines ranging from $ 156- $ 606.
