Landover Hills council introduces ordinance to allow stop‑sign monitoring systems
Summary
The Council voted to introduce Ordinance O‑01‑2026 to add a new town code section authorizing stop‑sign monitoring systems under Md. Code Ann., Transp. Art. § 21‑707.1 and to renumber and amend related code and penalties; a public hearing will be published and the ordinance considered for adoption at the next meeting.
The Landover Hills Town Council on March 19 introduced Ordinance O‑01‑2026, a code amendment to add a new section authorizing stop‑sign monitoring systems and to align town penalties and numbering with that change.
Councilman Mike Walker moved to introduce the ordinance, which would add §98‑11 “Stop Sign Monitoring Systems” to Chapter 98 and implement the authority of Md. Code Ann., Transportation Article §21‑707.1; Councilman Todd Over seconded and the motion passed with all members present voting in favor. The council also voted to renumber the current §98‑11 (truck restrictions) as §98‑12 and to amend §2802 to identify penalties for violations of the relevant code sections.
Mayor Jeffrey Schomisch said the ordinance would be published for a forthcoming public hearing; the minutes record that the ordinance will be considered for adoption at the next Council meeting. The minutes do not record debate on specifics such as camera placement, fines, or enforcement procedures, nor do they record any public comment on the measure during this meeting.
If adopted at a future meeting after public notice, the ordinance would change local traffic enforcement authority by adding a code section that references state statute authority.
