Frederick might be next to get speed cameras

October 12, 2009 – 6:13am

FREDERICK, Md. – It’s probably happened to you when you’re driving along and see a flash in your rearview mirror. The dreaded flash of a speed camera followed by a mental note to write a $40 check.You might be seeing more of them in our area after a new Maryland law that allows speed cameras in highway work zones and school zones.

Montgomery County officers boasted their benefits in a presentation to leaders in Frederick, Maryland. After the presentation the Frederick News Post said a majority of Frederick’s Board of Aldermen showed support for launching a camera program in the city, but there’s no word when they might vote on the plan.

The number of deadly crashes in Montgomery County has dropped 35 percent since a speed camera program began there.

The new Maryland law took effect October 1 and already mobile speed cameras are being used along I-95 in the Inter-County Connector work zone.
