NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced that one traffic safety camera and four school zone safety cameras will be reactivated on Wednesday, May 1 at 7 a.m. These cameras had been vandalized and have since undergone repairs for reactivation.
The traffic safety camera is located in the 300 block of Florida Avenue (Eastbound) near Rosemary Place. As a reminder, traffic safety cameras remain on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The school zone safety cameras are located at the following locations:

School zone operation hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. Motorists are advised to carefully observe posted speed limits and exercise caution in school zones. Cell phone use is prohibited, and motorists must stop for children crossing the street. Drivers can expect to see enforcement of 20 mph school zone speed limits.
Effective Friday, May 24 at 4:45 p.m., all school zone safety cameras will be deactivated until the start of the 2024-2025 school year.
