The streets surrounding several Baltimore schools are about to get an extra layer of monitoring with the introduction of new speed enforcement cameras, as confirmed by the Baltimore City Department of Transportation. Stepping it up to ensure safety around educational havens, the new cameras aim to deter speed limit violations in school zones, particularly targeting motorists who exceed the set limit by 12 miles per hour or more. Generators of traffic fines, these automated cameras will operate from Monday through Friday, between the early hours of 6 a.m. and the encompassing dark of 8 p.m., as reported by FOX Baltimore.
Marking calendars for change, implementation will commence on August 26, directly focusing on the 4500-4800 blocks of Hamilton Avenue adjacent to Hazelwood Elementary/Middle School and copiously branching out to encompass several other educational institutions along the 3600-3900 blocks of Echodale Avenue and onward through the 5000-5300 blocks of Hillen Road, finally reaching the 6000-6200 blocks of Belair Road. Each transgression detected by these vigilant machines will result in a $40 fine, as detailed by WMAR-2 News.
With approximations surrounding the exact block ranges and intersections, the Department of Transportation suggests enforcement may occur on a rotating basis or find permanence in their assigned locations.
