Description: The Anne Arundel County Automated Traffic Enforcement Speed Program uses Portable Camera Units (PCUs) to monitor and enforce speed limits. The goal of the program is to increase roadway safety and reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries in the county. This ensures the safety of all roadway users, including students, older adults, and community members. The Anne Arundel County Police Department supports speed cameras because they enhance public safety. Every day, residents demand safe streets in Anne Arundel County, especially for the benefit of children. Speed cameras are an effective tool for slowing motorists.In accordance with state law, the speed cameras in school zones will operate from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday - Friday to help reduce speeds and create safer driving habits around our schools. Cameras placed in residential areas will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Speed cameras remain in use during these hours throughout the summer months and on other weekdays when school is not in session. The need for motorists to drive carefully in school zones exists even when schools are not in session because school sites are used for summer school, recreation and parks activities, summer athletics, and other community-based activities.
