The U.S. District Court of Arizona and Grand Canyon National Park are taking proactive steps to improve public safety for residents and visitors alike. As part of this initiative, the U.S. District Court and the park are implementing a new fine structure for certain violations, including fire safety and speeding in school zones. 

To reduce the risk of wildfires, fines for having fires in undesignated areas have been significantly increased. During Stage 1 restrictions, individuals will face a $300 fine, while Stage 2 restrictions will result in a $500 fine. These increased penalties aim to deter unsafe fire practices and protect our park and community. 

To ensure the safety of our children, fines for speeding in school zones have been revised. Drivers exceeding the speed limit by 1-10 MPH will incur a $300 fine, while those speeding 11 MPH or more over the limit will face a $500 fine. These heightened fines underscore the importance of adhering to speed limits in areas where children are present. 

By implementing these changes, the U.S. District Court and Grand Canyon National Park reaffirms their commitment to the safety and well-being of our community. We urge all residents and visitors to be mindful of these new regulations.
