Baltimore installs 2 speed cameras on I-83; $40 fine for speeding

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT) announced that automated speed enforcement locations will soon be expanded along the Jones Falls Expressway (JFX) / Interstate 83.

To decrease vehicular accidents and improve safety, two automated speed enforcement cameras have been installed along the Jones Falls Expressway / I-83 within city limits, according to a recent statement from the BCDOT.  Enforcement locations were identified where high incidents of speeding and/or vehicular crashes typically occur.  New speed cameras have been installed at: 

• Northbound Jones Falls Expressway / I-83 at Smith Avenue
• Southbound Jones Falls Expressway / I-83 at W. North Avenue 

Drivers that exceed posted speed limits by 12 or more miles per hour will receive a citation by mail, according to the BCDOT. The fine for an automated speed citation is $40, and since these are considered civil violations, no license points are assessed. 

To alert drivers that automated speed enforcement is occurring, warning signs are posted along the JFX.  Digital speed sentry signs have also been installed so that motorists will receive feedback on their speeds in real time to encourage compliance with posted speed limits.
