The 30-day warning period for the Hastings Drive and Wellington Road cameras began on Wednesday. After the warning period ends in September, drivers could face a $100 fine if they're caught speeding on the cameras.

"All violations are reviewed and approved by a Manassas City Police Officer," the Manassas City Police Department," the Manassas City Police Department said. "If it is determined that a violation occurred, a citation will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle."

Authorities noted that the fines will not lead to an increase in insurance costs or demerit points on a license.
