School Zone Speed Cameras

Show All Answers

1. Why were the Speed Zone Cameras installed?

The City of Lawrenceville and the Lawrenceville Police Department began implementing an automated speed enforcement program in August 2022. The purpose of the program was to reduce the number of speeding vehicles traveling through school zones, thus reducing the likelihood of crashes, or injuries, especially those involving children. The school zone safety program includes 6 schools. The Lawrenceville Police Department, in conjunction with Blue Line Solutions, LLC, established an extensive program that emphasizes safety, education, and information components not usually utilized in photo-speed enforcement programs.

2. How do the Cameras work? Are they accurate?

The automated speed enforcement technology is 100% accurate in determining exactly which vehicle it is capturing. The stationary cameras use a LIDAR laser beam aimed at a single lane. Vehicles drive through the beam as they travel on the roadway.   This guarantees the vehicle speed recorded matches the proper vehicle. 

3. Were there an excessive number of speeders in Lawrenceville School Zones?

The total traffic count during the hours of 7:20 a.m. – 4:20 p.m. in Lawrenceville school zones was 153,682. Of those, 38,247 (25%) were speeding 11+MPH above the speed limit. Our goal is 100% compliance. 

4. Where are the cameras located?

Automated speed enforcement in Gwinnett County is only in school zones. School zones are clearly marked with signage that the school zones are monitored, and speed limits are enforced by automated speed enforcement technology.   Drivers should assume that automated speed enforcement technology monitors all school zones. Visit lville.city/MyCityServices to view the speed camera locations.  

5. What are the hours of enforcement and what speed limits are enforced when?

During active school zone hours, (posted and marked at each school and indicated by flashing yellow lights) the speed limit is reduced to the marked, allowable speed limit. During those hours, the reduced speed limits are enforced. The posted speed limits are enforced 1 hour before and after school is in session and 1 hour before and after school releases.

(a)(1) The speed limit within any school zone as provided for in Code Section 40-14-8 and marked pursuant to Code Section 40-14-6 may be enforced by using photographically recorded images for violations which occurred only on a school day during the time in which instructional classes are taking place and one hour before such classes are scheduled to begin and for one hour after such classes have concluded when such violations are in excess of ten miles per hour over the speed limit.

H.B. 40-14-18 Section 9

6. Will photo enforcement take place in the summer when school is not in session?

Photo enforcement will not take place during the summer while school is not in session or during summer school hours. If the lights are flashing, please reduce your speed to the posted school zone speed limit.

7. Will I be ticketed for traveling 1 or 2 miles per hour over the posted limits?

No. According to state law, automated citations issued in school zones are only issued to drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. 

8. How much are the fines?

First violations are a total of $100.00 and a second or any subsequent violations are $150.00. Payments are due by the “Pay By” date listed on the citation. 

The owner of a motor vehicle shall be liable for a civil monetary penalty to the governing body of the law enforcement agency provided for in paragraph (2) of this subsection if such vehicle is found, as evidenced by photographically recorded images, to have been operated in disregard or disobedience of the speed limit within any school zone and such disregard or disobedience was not otherwise authorized by law. The amount of such civil monetary penalty shall be $75.00 for a first violation and $125.00 for a second or any subsequent violation, in addition to fees associated with the electronic processing of such civil monetary penalty which shall not exceed $25.00.

H.B. 40-14-18 Section 9

9. I received a School Zone Speeding Citation. How do I pay for it?

Please note, citation payments are not handled by the City of Lawrenceville.  Citations can be paid online, mailed, or by phone. 

Online

The easiest and most convenient payment method is via the online payment portal. To pay for your Lawrenceville citation online, please visit:  https://violationpayment.org/lawrencevillegapayment/(S(hglao1ey55v0a15rtrw040hl))/default.aspx?target=citationLookup 

 For additional questions, visit: https://www.violationpayment.net/pay-view-citation.html 

Mail

You may also mail a check or money order to the address printed on the citation and pre-printed return envelope. 

Phone

Payment by phone: Call 855.252.0086. Please patiently and thoroughly listen to the prompts. If you wish to speak to a representative, press "9" or "0". Representatives can look up your citation by name, notice number, or tag number.

10. I received a violation for speeding but wasn’t driving my vehicle. Do I have to pay for it?

An automated photo speed violation is considered a civil violation and the law says the owner of the cited vehicle is responsible. In Georgia, you may "transfer" the violation to the driver of the vehicle by the below methods, as taken directly from the Georgia law:

A) Testifies under oath in open court or submits to the court a sworn, notarized statement that he or she was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. 

B) Presents to the court a certified copy of a police report showing that the vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time of the alleged violation.

H.B. 978 40-14-18 Section 9

It should be noted that if the violation is not paid, the owner remains responsible for the violation. 

Visit, https://www.violationpayment.net/contest-your-citation.html to contest your citation.

11. If I get a ticket will my insurance go up?

No. Citations are civil offenses, not criminal.  No points are assessed on your driving record for automated enforcement violations.   

12. What happens to citation revenue and how will it be used?

The revenue is shared between the City of Lawrenceville and Blue Line Solutions, the company that installs and maintains the cameras. Blue Line Solutions receives 35% of the citation and the City of Lawrenceville receives 65%. The city had no out-of-pocket cost to install the cameras and Blue Line Solutions will maintain the cameras.

According to state law, paid citation revenue must be utilized for law enforcement activities and public safety initiatives, such as police equipment and new school resource officers that will make our community safer. Funds directed to the City of Lawrenceville from the School Zone Speed Camera Program will be used for local law enforcement and/or public safety initiatives in compliance with state law. The City of Lawrenceville has no budget set in anticipation of collecting funds for FY 2023 in hopes that drivers will abide by the speed limits and refrain from speeding in our school zones. 

Although there is a monetary component to the speed camera program, it was implemented as a safety and staffing issue. The City of Lawrenceville desires to prevent speeding in our school zones (the cameras will not issue speeding tickets throughout the day) and we lack adequate police personnel to cover all six school zones and provide appropriate police coverage for all other law enforcement needs throughout the city on a weekly basis throughout the school year. Therefore, the City Council chose to utilize this technology in an attempt to keep children, educators, and the community safe.  

13. What is the benefit behind installing speed cameras vs rumble strips or speed humps?

The speed cameras cost the city and taxpayers $0. Blue Line Solutions handle all upfront costs of the program. Speed bumps and rumble strips would cost the city money for installation.

14. I believe my citation is incorrect. How do I contest my citation?

You have the right to contest a citation issued by a law enforcement agency. Due process is provided through administrative hearings and/or court proceedings. To contest a citation, visit https://www.violationpayment.net/contest-your-citation.html to schedule an administrative hearing.

Stormwater

Show All Answers

1. What is the Stormwater Fee?

To fund the efforts that keep the Stormwater system fully operational, a Stormwater utility fee is collected from City of Lawrenceville property owners. This fee is used to replace old pipes, reduce pollution, monitor water quality, and maintain the Stormwater infrastructure. Much strategic planning and prioritization goes into decisions to allocate the funds received by the Stormwater utility. The funds exclusively support the continual upkeep of the system to protect and preserve our community.

2. How are the fees calculated?

Fees are assessed according to the impervious surface area or Stormwater “footprint” of each parcel, rather than property value. Each parcel will be billed for each equivalent resident unit (“ERU”). Equivalent residential unit means 3,000 square feet of impervious surface.  Each ERU is billed at a rate of $5.00 per month. Residentially zoned property, excluding multi-family housing, is billed one (1) ERU (ex. $5.00 per month). For non-residentially zoned property, including multi-family housing,  the number of ERUs to be billed is calculated by taking the square footage of the property and multiplying the square footage by Seventy-five percent (75%) and then dividing by 3,000 (ex. 5 acre parcel – 43,560 x 5 = 217,800; 217,800 x 75% = 163,350; 163,350 / 3000 = 54.45 ERUs;  54.45 x $5.00 = $272.25 per month).

3. What is Stormwater and why does it need to be managed?

Stormwater is any water that originates from precipitation, like rain or snowmelt. Stormwater can soak into soil or evaporate, but in urban areas, most Stormwater turns into runoff because of the large amounts of impervious surface, which water is unable to soak into. Federal laws regulating Stormwater runoff require Lawrenceville to reevaluate the way it manages the water that runs off impervious surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or rooftops. Stormwater runoff creates flooding issues and carries pollutants directly to our streams and rivers, contaminating our local waterways.

4. Why do I have to pay a Stormwater utility fee?

The Lawrenceville Mayor and Council voted to create a Stormwater utility fee. The utility fee raises the revenues needed to fund Lawrenceville's Stormwater Management Program. This program brings us into compliance with federal regulations and safeguards our community through improved drainage and protection of local waterways. The Stormwater utility fee charges properties in Lawrenceville based on that property's contribution to the need for Stormwater management. The utility uses the amount of impervious surface, or surface that water is unable to soak into, on a property as the primary basis for the fee. This user-fee system represents a way to raise revenue for the program by charging those who directly contribute to its need. This method presents our community with an alternative to an across-the-board tax increase.

5. What services are funded by money collected from the Stormwater utility fee?

The Stormwater utility fee pays for the operations and maintenance costs of the Stormwater management program. Some of the services tied to the Stormwater program include:

• Federal regulatory compliance
• Construction inspections to ensure that erosion prevention methods are being utilized
• Flood protection through capital improvement projects
• Water quality monitoring of local waterways
• Illicit discharge detection and elimination
• Shoulder and ditch maintenance within the publicly owned right-of-way
• Storm drain and storm pipe cleaning and repair, not including private driveway pipes
• GIS mapping

6. How is the Stormwater utility fee different from a tax?

The Stormwater utility is a user fee, much like the fee that you pay for your water utility or gas service. Users of these services are charged based on the demand they place on the system. The Stormwater that flows off your property places demand on a vast system of infrastructure which is costly to operate and maintain. Stormwater must be channeled through a system of pipes and other conveyances before it can be safely discharged into local rivers, lakes and streams.

7. Who pays the fee?

All property owners in Lawrenceville pay the Stormwater utility fee. This includes residential homeowners, churches, nonprofit organizations, Georgia Gwinnett College (schools) and commercial property owners. Undeveloped land does not have any impervious surfaces, so it is not charged a Stormwater fee.

8. Why isn't the Stormwater utility fee just included on my monthly water bill?

The Stormwater utility bill is structured to be paid by the property owner, who might not be the same person who receives the water bill. Property owners make decisions about how the Stormwater from their property is managed. Typically, the occupant receives the monthly water bill but it would be inappropriate for a tenant to receive the Stormwater utility fee as well.

9. What happens to my Stormwater utility bill when I am no longer the property owner?

On the date of a closure, the closing attorney generates a Property Transfer form (PT-61) that is filed with the deed for the change of ownership. The closing attorney has 90 days to file this paperwork. The state receives the paperwork and sends it out to the Stormwater utility, the Tax Assessor, and any other parties who subscribe to the forms. Once the Stormwater utility receives notification of the transfer, Billing Staff will close the account under the old owner's name and begin an account in the new owner's name. A prorated final bill (based on the closing date) will be mailed to the previous owner, and a prorated first bill will be mailed to the new owner with the next billing cycle.

10. Do other cities have Stormwater user fees?

There are approximately 1,500 municipalities across the country that have developed utilities to fund their Stormwater management programs. Including Lawrenceville, more than 60 communities in Georgia have user fees that fund Stormwater services. These communities include Gwinnett County, the City of Covington, the City of Decatur, DeKalb County, Athens-Clarke County, the City of Norcross, Barrow County, the City of Roswell, the City of Duluth, and the City of Smyrna.

11. Is gravel considered impervious surface?

Yes. It is difficult for water to soak into a packed gravel surface. Once gravel is compacted, from cars or heavy equipment, for example, surface water runs off of it much like a paved surface. The gravel may slow the flow of water from the area, but will only reduce the amount of runoff minimally, if at all. Many flat roofs are covered with gravel, but they still shed the rainwater that falls on them. In addition, if cars or heavy equipment are traveling on these gravel surfaces; runoff typically carries pollutants like metals or petroleum into our waterways.

12. I think my bill may be calculated too high, what should I do?

Stormwater utility bills are based on the amount of impervious surface present on the property. If you believe the area of impervious surface has been calculated incorrectly, please contact the Stormwater Management Program at 678-407-6675 or email [email protected].

13. How can I apply for a utility fee credit?

Stormwater credits are given to properties with installed and properly maintained Stormwater systems that meet the requirements of the Lawrenceville Stormwater management ordinance and the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual. Stormwater ponds, wetlands, infiltration trenches, and other management systems reduce the velocity or rate of the runoff or clean up the pollutants found in Stormwater. When properly maintained and installed, these systems can qualify for a reduction in fee for the property they serve.

14. My property has drainage problems. How will the utility help me?

On the Stormwater utility web site there is a form for reporting problems. Complete the form and email it to [email protected] or call 678.407.6675 to report the problem. Be sure to give address and contact information. A work order will be created and someone from the Stormwater utility will contact you to assess the issues and advise you of any options available to you.

15. I saw someone dump something into a storm drain. Who do I call?

Please call the Stormwater at 678-407-6675 or email [email protected] to report illegal dumping or water quality concerns. We will investigate the issue and take the appropriate actions to remediate it.

16. My storm drain is clogged. Who do I call?
