BALTIMORE — Next week, new speed cameras will be activated at several Baltimore City schools to increase traffic safety.
Speed cameras will activate on or about Wednesday, May 20, at the following locations:
- 2200-2800 blocks of Orleans Street – Tench Tilghman Elementary/Middle School
- 100-300 blocks of N. Hilton Avenue – Green Street Academy
- 5700 block of N. Charles Street – Redeemer Paris Day School
- 300 block E. 29th Street – Barclay Elementary School
School-zone speed cameras in the city operate Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., year-round.
The system uses portable and fixed cameras to clock speeding drivers in school zones.
Fines for speed‑camera violations are determined by how many miles per hour a driver exceeds the speed limit, and do not result in license points:
- 12 to 15 mph over the posted speed limit – $40 fine
- 16 to 19 mph over the posted speed limit – $70 fine
- 20 to 29 mph over the posted speed limit – $120 fine
- 30 to 39 mph over the posted speed limit – $230 fine
- 40+ mph over the posted speed limit – $425 fine
Baltimore is also installing a new commercial-vehicle height-monitoring system in the 300 block of Gittings Avenue. It will activate on or around May 20, and those cameras operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
