Board hears that Calverton speed cameras slow drivers; state process limits new deployments
Summary
A board member said speed cameras in front of Calverton have reduced speeds; Sheriff Cox said camera deployment outside school zones requires state approval and that establishing a new camera can take about two years.
A member told the board the speed camera deployment in front of Calverton appears to slow drivers and suggested adding a camera near Huntingtown High School; Sheriff Cox said speed cameras in the county can only be designated in school zones and adding new cameras typically requires a state process that can take around two years.
"The cameras that are set up in front of Calverton are very effective," a board member said, describing observed driver behavior. Cox noted the county worked with the state to designate the zone in front of Huntingtown High School as a school zone; he said speed-camera rules allow citations only in school zones.
The sheriff said signage and education complement enforcement and that the county continues to evaluate problem corridors for engineering and enforcement responses.
