Boca Raton is adding three more school zones to its School Zone Safety Program, bringing the total to six. The city announced the expansion Nov. 9, 2026, and said the new zones serve Calusa Elementary School, Blue Lake Elementary School, and Omni Middle School/Spanish River High School.

The city works with RedSpeed, which operates speed cameras in each zone. The cameras record violations only when the school zone’s flashing lights are on, and the city says the goal is to deter speeding and protect drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Each newly added zone starts with a 30-day warning period. After that, drivers going 11 mph or more over the posted limit while the lights are flashing will face a $100 civil penalty. The city said the tickets do not add points to a driver’s license and do not affect auto insurance rates.

The program already operates at Addison Mizner School, Boca Raton Community High School and J.C. Mitchell Elementary School. Residents can find more information at myboca.us/SchoolZoneSafety.
