(WCTV) &#8211; Public records show just how many speeding tickets were issued from school zone speed cameras in Tallahassee this school year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">More than 44,000 tickets were given from September 2025 to late May 2026, records reveal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">If you\u2019re driving more than 10 miles above the school zone speed limit, the camera will take a photo of your license plate and mail the $100 citation to the registered owner of the car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Initially, the citation will not affect your driver\u2019s license or insurance. However, TPD said if the fine is not paid within 30 days, the citation will turn into a traffic ticket, which could impact your driving record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Ruediger Elementary and Raa Middle had the most tickets issued, nearly 11,000, followed by De Soto Trail, Cobb Middle, Kate Sullivan, Springwood and Griffin Middle. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Records show just over 60% of those tickets have been paid. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The speed enforcement cameras were made possible by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2023\/657\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">House Bill 657<\/a>, signed by Florida Gov.
