In Pennsylvania the School Zone Safety Act became law in 2004 after unanimously passing the House and Senate and being signed by the PA Governor.
This law dramatically increases fines for motorists who speed through school zones.
The fines previously only had been $35, plus $2 per mile over the speed limit, along with court costs. Since this new law passed a few years ago motorists driving more than 11 miles per hour over the speed limit can be fined up to $500 and be given three points on their driver’s license. For second or subsequent offenses, a driver would face a 60-day license suspension.
If you were cited under 3365(b), exceeding special speed limit in school zone, then as noted above this is assigned 3 point on your PA driving record.
For more information on your speeding ticket in a school zone contact the PennDOT and/or the court listed on your citation.
