MD HB348

State Highway Administration authorized to deploy speed monitoring systems in "safety corridors" — highway segments identified as high-risk to vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users) or designated as priority corridors in the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan

Speed cameras may only capture vehicles traveling at least 12 miles per hour above the posted speed limit, and conspicuous warning signs must be posted before each safety corridor

Civil penalty capped at $40 per violation; violations do not count as moving violations, do not add points to driving records, and cannot affect motor vehicle insurance rates

Revenue from fines goes to a special fund covering implementation costs, with remaining balance distributed to the Transportation Trust Fund for highway safety and system preservation

Effective date: October 1, 2025
