HB 421 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Prince George's County - Speed Monitoring Systems - Maryland Route 210 PG 309-26

HB 421 authorizes Prince George's County to install and operate point-to-point speed monitoring systems on Maryland Route 210 (Indian Head Highway) within the county. The bill modifies Maryland law to require that penalties from speed citations issued by these systems go directly to the county (not the state) for uncontested cases, and specifies that collected funds must cover system costs and be spent solely on public safety programs like pedestrian or highway safety initiatives. It adds new language to the Transportation Article to formalize this process for the specific highway segment. The bill directly affects drivers traveling on MD Route 210 in Prince George's County and the county government, which would manage the systems and allocate funds.
