Summary
Orange County runs two camera programs: red light infraction detectors at intersections and, since 2025, speed detection systems in school zones, both issuing civil notices of violation.
Failure of a motor vehicle to so stop is a red light infraction which will result in a notice of violation and traffic citation for violation of this article, the fine for which the registered owner of the motor vehicle shall be responsible and liable. [Sec. 35-72(a)] ... For a violation of F.S. § 316.1895, in excess of ten (10) miles per hour over the school zone speed limit which occurs within thirty (30) minutes before through thirty (30) minutes after the start of a regularly scheduled school session.

Full Breakdown
Traffic infraction detectors enforce steady-red-light stops countywide, with a $158 penalty, mailed notice, and a right to a hearing before a local hearing officer. A newer program under Article IX authorizes speed detection systems on roadways maintained as school zones; a violation is a vehicle going more than 10 mph over the school-zone limit during listed windows around the school day, enforced by the Sheriff's Office with a $100 fine and its own hearing process.
Violations & Fines
Red light infraction: $158 civil penalty, rising to a traffic citation if unpaid and no hearing requested within 60 days. School zone speed infraction: $100 fine per F.S. § 318.18(3)(d), plus up to $250 in hearing costs if the violation is upheld.
