Enforcement Measures

The Virgin Islands Police Department, along with all P.O.S.T. certified peace officers, are responsible for enforcing the reduced speed limits within school speed zones. But law enforcement officers who are authorized to issue citations may issue a citation to a motorist who violates the school speed zone limit. The Virgin Islands Police Department shall provide adequate personnel for school speed zones as part of its traffic and monitoring duties. School speed zones will be enforced during each school hours, and during official school events that may occur outside regular school hours, including weekends. Official school events include school-related sporting events, after-school programs, summer school sessions, parent-teacher conferences, graduation ceremonies, standardized testing, and Department of Education community events. Enforcement of speed zones during official school events is to protect students, staff, and attendees at all official school events.
