About Automated Speed Enforcement
The City of Seat Pleasant, Prince George's County Maryland is operating an Automated Speed Enforcement Program (speed cameras). This Program includes the use of speed monitoring systems which photograph vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit by 12 miles per hour or greater, in designated school zones and designated Institutes of Higher Education areas listed in this record. The City of Seat Pleasant began operation of all new camera locations with a 30 Day warning period.
In 2010 The City of Seat Pleasant, Prince George's County, Maryland began issuing $40 violation (fine) notices to the registered owners of vehicles that exceeded the posted speed limit by 12 miles per hour or more in these areas. This Program allows the movement of speed monitoring systems to various locations as directed by the Chief of Police.
Reducing Collisions / Crashes
Failure to obey traffic signals is one of the primary causes of crashes at intersections. According to preliminary estimates by the Federal Highway Administration in 2001there were approximately 218,000 crashes at intersections that are caused by drivers who run red lights.
In an effort to remedy this national epidemic, The State of Maryland passed a law in April 1997 that went into effect in October 1997 (Transportation Article 21-202.1) that allows the use of Automated Enforcement by law enforcement agencies. Automated Enforcement detects and identifies violators of the law without the dependency of a police presence. This allows police officers to focus on other urgent community needs. In addition, Automated Enforcement is proven to reduce the number of red light violations by 40%.
As we continue to strive to reduce motor vehicle collisions, especially those occurring at intersections, the City of Seat Pleasant has implemented the latest new camera technology used for red light safety. These cameras have the ability to record multiple violations occurring at the same time. The cameras capture clear photos of the violating vehicles along with a video clip of the violations.
With this new technology, in addition to our current enforcement of the steady red signal, we will also conduct enforcement of the Maryland Traffic Law 21-202, right turn on red without stopping. These cameras only activate after the traffic signal has turned red.
