Alachua County deputies issued nearly 900 speeding tickets in summer school zone

The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office wrote close to 900 speeding citations last month in a summer school zone, with more than 200 issued in the first week alone near Wiles Elementary and Kanapaha Middle School. Citation numbers climbed over the following weeks, with 125 tickets handed out in just the final two days of summer school. The zone is among several where speed cameras were installed earlier this year; each violation carries a $100 fine.
