SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A 45-day warning period in Suffolk has ended. Speed cameras are now fully in operation on Route 58 at the SPSA interchange. Violators who exceed the speed limit will now face $100 fines instead of getting a warning.
The grace period for Suffolk’s speed cameras, which began June 2, ended on Wednesday. Penalties will be issued beginning July 17, 2025.
It’s part of the city’s comprehensive traffic enforcement initiative, which includes red light cameras, school zone cameras, school bus stop arm cameras, and work zone cameras.
