Industry Background

In Spring of 2009, The Maryland State General Assembly passed Maryland Transportation Law section 21-809 allowing the use of "photographic speed-monitoring systems". As a result of this legislation, the Maryland Transportation Article includes the use of photographic speed-monitoring systems in its school zones. A photographic speed-monitoring system is a speed-measuring system that works in conjunction with a photographic, video, or electronic camera to automatically measure the speed and produce photographs or digital images of vehicles violating a speed limit or speed restriction. 

As of September 2011 in the U.S., red light cameras are used in approximately 553 communities while speed cameras are used in more than 103 jurisdictions.  According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, in 2010 a review of 28 studies into the impact of speed enforcement technology found that injury and fatal crashes fell as much as 60 percent in areas with speed cameras. The cost to U.S. municipalities from speed-related crashes, as reported by the National Highway Safety Administration, is over $40 billion annually.
