M BEGGING PLEASE HELPPPPP

Answer 1

Answer:

A reader who was caught by a speed detection camera wants to know if Maryland law requires that drivers must be notified where speed cameras are in use.

Speed cameras can be mounted beside a road or installed in a law enforcement vehicle. They are used to detect vehicles speeding, running red lights, driving through toll booths without paying or using a bus lane without authorization.

State law does require notice to motorists that the cameras are in use, but it is general, not specific. If you were picturing roadside signs saying “Speed cameras next 3 miles,” that form of notice is not a requirement under the law.

A local government that seeks to install speed cameras must notify the public that it is planning to install the devices. The government must provide reasonable public notice of the speed camera plans, hold a public hearing and the governing body — council, commissioners or city council — must vote on whether to install the cameras.

The local government must notify the public of speed camera locations on the government’s website and in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction. If a local government wants to install speed cameras on state highways running through its jurisdiction, it must obtain approval from the State Highway Administration.
