Bill > HB421

This bill authorizes Prince George's County to implement and use "point-to-point speed monitoring systems" on Maryland Route 210 (Indian Head Highway), which are devices that measure a vehicle's average speed between two fixed points. These systems can only be used on monitored highway segments that are between 1 and 10 miles long, require clear signage, and must include a real-time speed display for drivers. The locations for these systems must be identified by safety studies as high-risk for crashes or speeding. The bill also specifies that these systems can only issue citations for vehicles traveling at least 12 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and cannot be used for general surveillance or unrelated law enforcement purposes. Furthermore, Prince George's County is required to report annually to the General Assembly, starting January 31, 2028, detailing the number of citations issued, revenue generated, expenditures, net revenue, contractor payments, and any changes in average speeds and crash statistics on the monitored highway segments.
