Baltimore County - Vehicle Laws - Private Roadways in Residential Communities

HB 528 prohibits driving violations of Maryland Vehicle Law on private roadways within Baltimore County residential subdivisions or communities. It authorizes police officers to enforce vehicle laws (like speed limits or parking rules) on these private roads, directly affecting residents and drivers using neighborhood streets. The bill amends two specific sections of Maryland law (Transportation Code 11-205(c) and 21-101.1(b)(1)) to extend enforcement authority to these private residential areas. This creates a clear rule for compliance on private roads in Baltimore County neighborhoods, where such enforcement was previously unclear. The changes take effect October 1, 2025.
