The City of Milledgeville utilizes automated speed enforcement in designated school zones to protect students, staff, and pedestrians from dangerous speeding.
To pay a school zone speeding summons issued within the City of Milledgeville:
Automated school zone speed enforcement is currently active in the following locations:
Over the past decade there has been a nationwide increase in pedestrian fatalities related to speeding and distracted driving. Automated enforcement encourages drivers to follow posted speed limits and remain attentive, especially in sensitive areas like school zones.
Automated speed enforcement is endorsed as a safety tool by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, AAA, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the National Safety Council.
Slower driving saves lives. A person is about 70% more likely to be killed if struck by a vehicle traveling 30 mph versus 25 mph. There is approximately a 93% chance of survival if a pedestrian is struck at 20 mph. Small differences in speed make a major difference in school zones.
Speed enforcement programs and locations are selected by the Milledgeville Police Department and local schools after a traffic study is performed to assess road conditions and safety needs.
Requests or concerns about additional locations may be sent directly to the Police Department using our general contact information.
The Police Department installs clearly visible signage advising drivers that roadways are enforced by speed cameras. In addition, a 30-day warning period is provided when new enforcement begins. During this period, drivers may receive Warning Notices instead of payable citations.
Warning Notices are courtesy notices used during the initial warning period to make drivers aware of increased enforcement in school zones. If you received a Warning Notice, no further action is required, but all drivers are strongly encouraged to obey posted speed limits.
Under Georgia law, automated school zone speed citations are issued to drivers traveling at more than 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit in an enforced school zone.

School zone speed citations issued through automated enforcement are civil offenses, not criminal infractions. No points are assessed on your driving record for these violations. However, fines increase for repeat offenders.
The enforcement program utilizes state-of-the-art multi-dimensional radar capable of tracking and monitoring up to approximately 350 vehicles simultaneously. Radar is accurate within 0.1 mph.
A detailed maintenance and testing log is maintained at all times. Citations are not issued within any possible margin of error.
Under Georgia law, paid citation revenue must be used for law enforcement activities that increase public safety, such as police equipment, traffic safety initiatives, and school safety programs including school resource officers.
