The new Automated Photo Speed Enforcement Program is now LIVE as part of our 2024 School Zone Safety Plan!
Fairburn Police have strategically placed two speed enforcement cameras in the following areas:
- Near Landmark Christian School
- Near Campbell Elementary School
After a 30-day warning period, the cameras are fully operational to help keep our children safe. 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.

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!
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!
FULTON COUNTY 2024 ASSESSMENT NOTICES HAVE BEEN ISSUED

As required by Georgia law, the Tax Assessors’ office issues an annual Notice of Assessment for every property, which must reflect fair market value.
