Howard County delegation seeks authorization to extend speed cameras to US Route 1
Summary
Delegate John Teraza presented an amended local bill to expand speed monitoring cameras to U.S. Route 1 in Howard County and said fines would be earmarked for pedestrian and highway safety purposes.
Delegate John Teraza told the Environment and Transportation Committee that House Bill 13-11 — a local Howard County measure supported by both the Howard County House and Senate delegations — would expand the use of automated speed monitoring systems to U.S. Route 1 in Howard County. Teraza said the bill, as amended by the delegation, also specifies that fines collected would be used for pedestrian and highway-safety purposes and asked for a favorable report.
Committee members asked brief clarifying questions. The panel did not take a recorded vote during the hearing. Teraza said the bill had been amended since filing and emphasized local delegation support.
