NEW ORLEANS — People who drive past New Orleans public schools between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. or 2:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. should be on the lookout for the return of the traffic speed cameras.
The city of New Orleans announced that the cameras would be reactivated on Monday, February 8 in an effort to slow down the speed of cars in and around city schools.
The speed limit is set at 20 mph in the school zones and tickets are given to those whose speed is 4 or more miles per hour above that limit.
Tickets from traffic cameras provide a source of revenue for the city. The cameras have been off while students were all-virtual since early January.
