The following press release was issued by the Fort Bragg Police Department:
The Fort Bragg Police Department is excited for the return of students to the various campuses around Fort Bragg and will be resuming their typical school patrol routines. This means you can expect to see an increased police presence conducting traffic enforcement around the schools during drop-off and pick-up times.
The Police Department would like to remind the public the speed limit is 15 miles per hour in a school zone when children are present. Schools zones often extend up to one block past school property and are typically marked with a sign indicating the decreased speed limit, and by crosswalks being yellow instead of white.
This year the Police Department will also be deploying a traffic enforcement officer with a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) device around the schools for increased traffic enforcement capabilities.
