A violation is driving 10 mph or more over the school zone limit during posted school hours.

The City of Doral Special Magistrate serves as the local hearing officer under subsection (e)(2), taking sworn testimony from the traffic infraction enforcement officer and the vehicle owner and reviewing the recorded evidence before issuing a written order. An aggrieved owner may appeal a final order under Florida's uniform traffic citation appeal process in Chapter 162, Florida Statutes, per subsection (e)(7).

Failing to pay the penalty under F.S. § 318.18(3)(d) or contest it within 30 days converts the notice into a uniform traffic citation with added court fees and costs. A petitioner who loses a hearing before the Special Magistrate must pay both the statutory penalty and the city's administrative hearing costs, capped under F.S. § 316.0083(5)(e).
