New Speedcams in Bowie Next Week

Speedcams will be added in two Bowie school zones on January 17.

We all know how important it is to slow down near schools, and now we have additional incentive to do just that. Citations will be mailed to the owner of any vehicle going 12 miles over the limit, even if someone else is driving. ...and there will be no warning tickets.

The first speedcam will be located on Rt. 450, near Bowie H.S.
The other speedcam will be located on Rt. 197, near Rockledge Elementary.

According to the City of Bowie website, the new speedcams will be operating between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. The fine for citations will be $40, but no points will effect the vehicle owner's driving record.

Speedcams were installed last year on Northview Dr. near Northview Elementary and on Belair Drive near the Belair Annex.

Margaret, I think that the speedcams are a great way to get people to slow down. No one likes getting a speeding ticket and they're usually more careful after they've been nabbed!

Having a young child I am all for having speedcams at schools. Drivers speeding through these areas deserve to get a ticket.

Oh my goodness, you are all TRUE friends to read and comment on this post. I am certain it is of little interest, if any, to people from other areas.

Larry - I agree

Connie - So true!

Ellie - In our area, there's usually such a traffic jam that a car couldn't speed by at opening and closing times if they wanted to. But you're right... school zones are good places to put a speedcam.

It's amazing that we need speed cams, to get folks to slow down during a 45 min time frame in the morning and the afternoon. The fine needs to be $100, for each infraction....

Margaret I don't usually go past that part of Bowie MD. But hopefully people shouldn't need a speedcam to let them know that they shouldn't go fast in a school zone. Thanks for sharing. By the way Happy New Year to you. Great post.
