Drivers near Portsmouth schools, take note that speeding could be pricey. The City has implemented an automated traffic enforcement program aka speed cameras.
Portsmouth PD said the speed cameras will enforce the speed limit on school days when classes are in session. Enforcement times are from 30 minutes before the start of school until 30 minutes after dismissal.
