Prince George's County - Speed Monitoring Systems - Maryland Route 5 PG 315-26
HB 401 authorizes Prince George's County to install and operate speed monitoring systems on Maryland Route 5, subject to signage requirements. It requires that all revenue from violations detected by these systems must be used exclusively for highway and pedestrian safety improvements on or near MD Route 5 in the county. The bill also mandates real-time speed display for drivers using these systems. This directly affects Prince George's County (as the implementing jurisdiction) and drivers traveling on MD Route 5. The policy change specifically redirects enforcement revenue toward local safety infrastructure, rather than general county funds.
