Speed cameras are permitted only in school zones — Georgia has no open-road speed cameras. HB 651 (Act 711 of 2026), effective July 1, 2026, rewrote the rules: tighter sign standards, penalties for misuse, permit revocation, and limits on notices and fees. From July 1, 2027, new O.C.G.A. 40-14-19 bars any school-zone camera contract unless local voters approve it in a referendum. Cameras also require a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) permit — see Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 672-20.
