New Speed Camera Arrives in Towson

Drivers, be advised: There are six new speed cameras at schools around Baltimore County.

For 30 days, there will be a warning period when drivers do not get tickets and instead receive warnings for exceeding the speed limit in these zones. After 30 days, violators will be cited and fined $40.

These are the schools with the new speed cameras:

• Deer Park Elementary School, 9800 Block of Lyons Mill Road, Owings Mills
• Reisterstown Elementary School, 200 Block of Walgrove Road, Reisterstown
• Calvert Hall School, 1200 Block of Putty Hill Avenue, Towson
• Timonium Elementary School, 2000 Block of Eastridge Road, Lutherville-Timonium
• McCormick Elementary School, 5100 Block of Hazelwood Avenue, Rosedale
• General John Stricker Middle School, 7800 Block of Trappe Road, Dundalk

Cameras will be in operation from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, including weekdays when school is not in session and during the summer.

Those driving at least 12 mph over the posted speed limit are in violation and will be notified, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

The cameras went into effect on Wednesday, Feb. 24, according to Corporal John Wachter, who said that they were cycled out from other schools.
