MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — School is back in session for many students in Central Georgia. Since yellow buses are hitting the roads, school zone speed cameras are turning back on.
Baldwin County goes back to school on Aug. 1. The camera outside Baldwin County High School is known for giving tickets.
One woman, Armetrious Allen, finds this camera to be a pain.
"Yes I have, my husband several times, especially like in the morning you have to slow down but they're beginning to be irritating because we were getting them back to back," she said.
Getting multiple tickets adds up quickly.
Monic Dennis does speed but she sees the tickets adding up.
"It started off with a warning but after that, it was like $74 then it eased up and got a little pricey and I do think they increase the price to get people to take it a little more seriously," she said.
Dennis survived a head-on crash when her father ran into a truck and she was in a full-body cast. Her niece also died in a separate car crash. So, she understands the need to control speed.
"I do speed myself, I do, I got to be honest but I am in the process of slowing down because it is dangerous," Dennis said.
Baldwin County School Safety Director Corey Goble says the speed cameras are making a difference on the road.
"We take every opportunity to improve any type of safety, be it traffic safety, roadway safety, school safety, you know anything that can help improve the safety of everyone," he said.
Goble said he has seen fewer tickets issued since the speed camera began running.
In Baldwin County, the cameras turn on an hour before school and turn off an hour after. If you go more than 10 miles an hour over the speed limit, get ready to pay.
