Prince George's County - Speed Monitoring Systems - Maryland Route 5 PG 308-25

HB 371 authorizes Prince George's County to install and operate speed monitoring systems (cameras) on Maryland Route 5, subject to specific placement and signage rules. The bill requires that fines collected from speed violations on this route must fund highway and pedestrian safety improvements directly on or near Maryland Route 5 in Prince George's County. It also mandates real-time speed displays for drivers using these systems. The bill modifies existing Maryland law to ensure revenue from these cameras is dedicated to local safety projects, not general funds.
