LABELLE, FL. -- School zone cameras seems to be racking up lots of speeding violations in Hendry county. According to WGCU news reports around 1300 speeding citations were issued in December. At $100 each for going 10 miles per hour over the posted 20 mph speed limit during school hours, it's adding up to a considerable amount of fines monthly.

Although there are signs posted, warning cameras are checking speed, it would seem some motorists don't believe it. It is unclear whether the speed cameras are citing speeders in off-school hours. as the signs say speeds are checked from"6:30 am to 3:10 pm."

A third party company installed the cameras and take a portion of the fines, the rest going to the schools.
