A release issued by the Anne Arundel County Police Department said the camera will be in effect Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Citations will start to be issued following a 15-day warning period. Any individuals driving 12 mph or more over the posted speed limit will be fined.

The county's tiered fines range from $40 to $425. A breakdown of the dollar amount is listed below:

• 12-15 mph over the speed limit: $40 fine
• 16-19 mph over the speed limit: $70 fine
• 20-29 mph over the speed limit: $120 fine
• 30-39 mph over the speed limit: $230 fine
• 40+ mph over the speed limit: $425 fine

As the fines are considered civil violations, they will not add points to a driver's license, according to officials.
