Two speed cameras were activated on Monday in two Baltimore City school zones as part of the city’s Automated Traffic Violation Enforcement System.
The speed camera monitoring system consists of portable and fixed cameras that detect vehicles that exceed the posted speed limit by at least 12 miles per hour. Drivers exceeding the speed limit by 12 mph or more will be fined $40.
New speed camera locations include:
– 2200 block of Mount Royal Terrace – Dorothy I. Height Elementary School, The Mount Royal School
– 2100 block of W. Franklin Street – Mary Ann Winterling Elementary School, Franklin Square Elementary School
The cameras operate weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. throughout the year and when school is not in session. All speed camera zones are marked with signage.
Baltimore’s automated speed enforcement program is designed to promote safe driving by reducing driver speeds in school zones throughout the city.
The new camera installations come just 10 days after the state of Maryland issued an increased fine for speeding in work zones. Those fines doubled from $40 to $80.
