Manassas police: “Speed enforcement cameras have been successfully installed outside Round Elementary School on Hastings Drive and Metz Middle School on Wellington Road. The cameras will be active during a thirty-minute period prior to the start of school and at dismissal.”

The active times for each school are as follows:

• Round Elementary School | Hastings Drive: 8:35 – 9:05 am and 4:15 – 4:45 pm
• Metz Middle School | Wellington Road: 7:05 – 7:35 am and 2:45 – 3:15 pm

“On August 16th, a 30-day warning period will begin for these two locations. After the 30-day warning period, citations will begin being issued for speed violations. All violations are reviewed and approved by a Manassas City Police Officer. If it is determined that a violation occurred, a citation will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. The fine is a $100 civil penalty and does not result in driver’s license demerit points or an increase in insurance rates.”
