Automated speed cameras will be in the following school zones from April 25-29:
-Berry Road at Berry Elementary School
-Marshall Corner Road at McDonough High School
-Leonardtown Road at Grace Christian Academy
The cameras operate Monday-Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Violators must be traveling at least 12 mph over the posted speed limit for the cameras to activate. The citations are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle and carry a $40 fine and no points. The citations are not reported to insurance companies.
The vehicle owner may elect to pay the fine or contest the citation in court. If the vehicle owner fails to pay the fine or appear in court, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will be notified and the vehicle’s registration will be flagged, preventing the renewal of its registration plates.
The CCSO reviews all photographs before issuing a citation.
The speed cameras use LASER technology to detect speeding vehicles and capture a series of digital images of the vehicle. The cameras record the date, time, location and speed the vehicle is traveling.
As a courtesy and in an effort to prevent violations, the CCSO has placed notification signs at all speed camera locations. Additionally, the locations of the cameras are posted weekly on the CCSO Facebook page
