Bill > HB55

This bill expands the statewide authorization for the use of speed monitoring systems, which are devices that capture images of vehicles traveling at least 12 miles per hour over the posted speed limit, to include highways in residential districts across Maryland, provided the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less and was set using established traffic engineering practices. Previously, this provision was limited to specific counties, but this legislation removes those geographical restrictions, making it applicable statewide to residential districts. The bill also retains existing authorizations for speed monitoring systems in school zones, on specific routes in Prince George's County, near institutions of higher education, on Interstate 83 in Baltimore City and Baltimore County, on Interstate 695 in Baltimore County, on Maryland Route 175 in Anne Arundel County, on Maryland Route 200 (Intercounty Connector) in Montgomery County, and in Montgomery County on highways identified as high-risk in safety plans, with some of these specific locations still subject to additional conditions.
