MD SB487

Authorizes the State Highway Administration to implement speed monitoring systems in designated "safety corridors"—highway segments identified as high-risk areas for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users, workers) based on federal safety assessments

Allows local jurisdictions to operate speed monitoring systems in safety corridors on their own highways or on state highways with a permit from the State Highway Administration

Establishes tiered civil penalties ranging from $40 (12-15 mph over limit) to $425 (40+ mph over limit), with violations treated as non-moving infractions that do not affect driving records, license points, or insurance rates

Requires conspicuous signage before safety corridors and prohibits citations for at least 15 days after a new system is installed at a location; systems must capture vehicles traveling at least 12 mph over the posted speed limit

Directs fine revenue collected by state-operated systems to a special fund for highway safety purposes and State Highway Administration system preservation, after covering implementation costs
