Bill > SB530

This bill modifies Maryland's transportation laws regarding speed monitoring systems in residential districts by expanding their potential use statewide. Currently, speed monitoring systems were limited to specific counties like Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Prince George's, but the bill removes those geographic restrictions. The bill defines a "residential district" as an area that is not a business district and includes a highway where properties along at least 300 feet are primarily residential or a mix of residential and business buildings. Speed monitoring systems can be used on highways in residential districts with a maximum posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour, and they must capture vehicles traveling at least 12 miles per hour over the speed limit. Before activating such a system, local jurisdictions must publish the location on their website and in a local newspaper, and ensure that speed limit signs approaching the monitored area include clear indications that a speed monitoring system is in use. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, thereby standardizing the implementation of speed monitoring systems across Maryland's residential districts.
