The City will install additional school zone speed cameras at the following locations:

  • Alexandria City High School – King Street Campus (King Street, between Quaker Lane and Scroggins Road)
  • Alexandria City High School – Minnie Howard Campus (Braddock Road, between Marlee Way and Marlboro Drive)
  • William Ramsay Elementary School (North Beauregard Street, between North Morgan Street and Roanoke Avenue)

The City selected the above locations using a data-driven process that considered factors such as crash history, traffic volumes, vehicle speeds, and age and number of students. The cameras are expected to be installed in April 2025, after which the program will go through a testing and warning period.

Each school zone is approximately ¼ mile in length and has a 15 MPH speed limit when school signs are flashing, which is when the speed cameras will be active. Clear signs will be displayed to inform drivers they are entering a speed camera zone.

Speed Limit Reductions 

Additionally, the City will implement speed limit reductions, from 35 MPH to 25 MPH, at the following locations:

  • South Pickett Street (Duke Street to Edsall Road)
  • Eisenhower Avenue (South Van Dorn Street to Telegraph Road)

The speed limit changes will be implemented in April 2025.
