Bill Summary
Expanding the authorization to place and use speed monitoring systems on highways in Howard County to include U.S. Route 1 (Washington Boulevard).
AI Summary
This bill expands the 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 U.S. Route 1, also known as Washington Boulevard, in Howard County. Previously, speed monitoring systems were authorized in specific locations across several counties, including residential districts with low speed limits, school zones, and certain highways like Maryland Route 210 in Prince George's County, Interstate 83 in Baltimore City, and Maryland Route 175 in Anne Arundel County, as well as on highways identified as high-risk in safety plans. This amendment adds U.S. Route 1 in Howard County to the list of authorized locations for these speed monitoring systems, with the change taking effect on October 1, 2026.
