Information & Alerts
The City of Fairburn is introducing a new automated photo speed enforcement program as part of our 2024 School Zone Safety Initiative. This initiative aims to significantly reduce speeding and enhance the safety of our children in school zones. The program begins with a 30-day warning period starting on Monday, November 4, 2024.
Fairburn Police have strategically placed two speed enforcement cameras in the following areas:
- Near Landmark Christian School
- Near Campbell Elementary School
During the initial warning period, drivers who exceed the speed limit in school zones will receive mailed warnings that include a photo of the violation, along with the date, time, and recorded speed. This approach ensures fairness and transparency as we work to create safer school zones.
Live enforcement will begin on Wednesday, December 4. After this date, citations will be issued to violators, including a $100 fine for speeds exceeding the limit by 10 mph or more. Repeat violations will incur a $150 penalty, underscoring the importance of safe driving near our schools.
To stay informed about this program, follow the City of Fairburn on social media or visit fairburn.com for additional details. Your support and cooperation are essential as we work together to make our school zones safer for everyone.
Thank you for helping us keep Fairburn’s children safe.

We’re excited to announce the implementation of Shared Lane Markings (Sharrows) as part of the Fairburn Bicycle Trails Plan!
Originally developed in 2017, this plan aims to provide a safer, alternate route for cyclists away from the busy SR14/US 29.
What are Sharrows?
Sharrows are white pavement markings showing a bicycle symbol with two chevrons, reminding both cyclists and motorists to share the lane. While traditional bike lanes require more space, sharrows are a flexible solution to promote recreational cycling on local roads with lower speed limits and fewer safety concerns.
Benefits of Sharrows:
- Reinforce the legitimacy of bicycle traffic
- Recommend proper bicyclist positioning
- Alert motorists to bicycle traffic, ensuring safer coexistence between vehicles and bikes
Keep an eye out for these new markings and let’s work together to create a safe, bike-friendly Fairburn!
Starting October 14th, pedestrian construction improvements will begin on Fairview Drive (from Elder Street to Shaw Drive). Please note that lane closures will be in effect from 9 AM to 4 PM daily for the remaining duration of the project.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve pedestrian safety in our community. Stay tuned for updates, and please plan your commute accordingly.
Stay informed and stay safe, Fairburn! Sign up for CivicReady to receive real-time alerts about weather hazards, emergency road closures, and important community notices. Don’t miss out on the latest updates that keep you and your family prepared and in the know. Sign up today and stay connected!
