Speed Cameras Go Live as Cold Front Sweeps Boynton Beach

School Zone Speed Cameras Now Active

Drivers in Boynton Beach are seeing a major change near local schools this week. Speed enforcement cameras are now active in multiple school zones across the city, following a brief warning period.

The cameras operate during school hours and are designed to reduce speeding in high-risk areas where children walk and bike daily. Vehicles traveling more than 11 miles per hour over the posted school-zone speed limit can receive a citation by mail.

City officials say the goal is safety, not punishment. Data from recent years shows a high number of crashes occurring near school campuses, and leaders hope the cameras will encourage more cautious driving during peak hours.

Cold Front Brings Unusual Chill to South Florida

Boynton Beach is also feeling the effects of a strong cold front moving through South Florida. The system is bringing cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and periods of rain through the end of the week.

While winter cold snaps are not unheard of, this front is notably stronger than average for early February. Residents may notice morning temperatures dipping into the 40s and 50s, especially inland, with breezy conditions making it feel even cooler.

City and county agencies are reminding residents to secure loose outdoor items, use caution on wet roads, and check on elderly neighbors who may be sensitive to the colder weather.

What to Watch Heading Into the Weekend

Drivers should allow extra time near school zones and expect increased enforcement to continue. Meanwhile, the cooler weather is expected to gradually moderate, with drier conditions returning later in the weekend.

Together, these updates mark a week of noticeable change in Boynton Beach — from how we drive to how we dress for the day.
