HOPEWELL, Va. (WRIC) — Citations will now be enforced where speed cameras are placed in Hopewell City school zones should the posted speed limit be exceeded by 10 miles per hour.
This effort is part of the ‘School Zone Enforcement Program,’ under the city’s public safety efforts.
A citation of $100 will be given to the registered vehicle owner — meaning should someone else be driving the car, the owner will be responsible for paying the bill.
Speed cameras are posted on the northbound and southbound lanes near Carter G. Woodson Middle School (Winston Churchill Drive), Harry E. James Elementary School (Arlington Road), and Hopewell High School (Mesa Drive).

No points will be added to the driver’s driving record nor will it appear on their driving history.
Citations may be contested within 30 days of its issuance either by mail or in person. If no response is received, the vehicle owner will lost the right to an appeal.
