BALTIMORE — The Baltimore City Department of Transportation announced that a new location for commercial vehicle height monitoring will soon be implemented.
This is in an effort to prevent trucks from traveling through residential neighborhoods. This system also helps to reduce traffic congestion and damage to streets, homes, businesses by commercial vehicles that unlawfully drive along restricted roadways.
When a truck is detected by the camera system, photos and video are taken of the vehicle's cab to capture the registration identification.
The fine for a violation is:
- First Offense – Warning
- Second Offense – $125.00
- Third or Subsequent Offenses – $250.00 each
The new camera will be installed in the 900 block of Ponca Street.
