Addressing Speed Camera Concerns in Spalding County

Sheriff Darrell Dix of Spalding County has responded to public concerns regarding the school zone speed cameras. He emphasized that these cameras are not intended as speed traps, pointing out the presence of warning signs and flashing lights before the camera zones. The cameras only trigger if a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by at least 10 mph. Dix highlighted the effectiveness of the cameras in reducing school zone speeding. He also assured that the revenue generated is used for community benefits, like equipping school resource officers, and not as a revenue-generating scheme. Dix is committed to transparency and rectifying any erroneous citations issued by these cameras.
