8,800 speed camera citations issued in 6 weeks
BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland highway officials say nearly 8,800 citations were issued during the first six weeks of the state's speed camera enforcement program.In mid-November, State officials began photographing vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 12 mph or more on three stretches of highway marked as work zones and sending out $40 tickets.
Signs that read "Speed Photo Enforced: Work Zone" warn motorists that cameras might be present. Cameras are installed in a pair of white Jeeps that rotate among the three locations: Interstate 95 between White Marsh Boulevard and Interstate-895, around the Charles Street exit of Baltimore's Beltway and along the Intercounty Connector construction area on I-95 in Prince George's County.
State Highway Administration spokesman David Buck says the aim is to change drivers' behavior and get them to slow down in work zones. <a href="http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/reg/2010/01/18-05/8800-speed-camera-citations-issued-in-6-weeks.html?ne=1">http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/reg/2010/01/18-05/8800-speed-camera-citations-issued-in-6-weeks.html?ne=1</a>;
