New Automated Speed Enforcement at Teasley MS

The City of Canton Police Department is now utilizing speed detection devices to enforce the speed limit at Teasley MS. The enforcement will be conducted using automated school zone cameras that were installed on Reservoir Drive. The program was instituted after a nationwide spike in pedestrian fatalities over the past decade in which Georgia became one of the five deadliest states for pedestrians, with the seventh-highest fatality rate. Canton PD conducted speed studies within all its school zones, which produced over 3,000 speeding violations in a single day. Automated Enforcement is endorsed as a safety tool by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, AAA, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the National Safety Council.
