Prince George's County will see enhanced safety measures on Route 210 following the recent passage of legislation aimed at reducing speeding and improving road safety. During the General Assembly Committee meeting on April 22, 2025, Delegate Nicole Williams highlighted this significant development, emphasizing the road's reputation as one of the most dangerous in America.

The new legislation introduces enhanced penalties for speed camera violations along Route 210, with fines now adjusted based on the severity of the speeding offense.

The discussions provided valuable insights into how the county can continue to advocate effectively for its communities.

As the county moves forward with these new measures, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents, with the expectation that the enhanced penalties will foster a safer driving environment on Route 210.
