Philadelphia is expanding its school-zone automated speed enforcement program, adding Northeast High School to the initiative.<\/p>\n
Beginning Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, a 60-day warning period will begin for drivers traveling through the Northeast High School zone as they activate the school-zone speed cameras via the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA). <\/p>\n
The zone will include 1609 Cottman Avenue between Glendale Avenue and Algon Street. <\/p>\n
The cameras will operate only when school-zone flashers are active, during morning and afternoon school hours. They will not operate on holidays, according to officials.<\/p>\n
The PPA said during the warning period, drivers recorded traveling 11 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit while the school-zone flashers are active will receive a warning in the mail instead of a citation.<\/p>\n
The warning period will end on Friday, Dec. 4, 2026. Drivers who are recorded exceeding the speed limit by at least 11 miles per hour may receive citations in the mail. <\/p>\n
Other local schools who have implemented the automated speed cameras include John B. Stetson Middle School, Widener Memorial School, High School of the Future, and William L. Sayre High School. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur school-zone speed cameras aim to protect students on their way to and from school. It\u2019s a critical matter of public safety and changing dangerous driving behavior,\u201d said Gabe Roberts, PPA Acting Executive Director. \u201cWe have seen dramatic results with speed enforcement cameras along Roosevelt Boulevard, where speeding has been reduced by a staggering 95% and pedestrian-involved crashes have been reduced by 50%.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia is expanding its school-zone automated speed enforcement program, adding Northeast High School to the initiative.
