Baltimore City - Speed Monitoring Systems - Interstate 83

SB 500 increases the allowable number of speed monitoring systems on Interstate 83 in Baltimore City from two to four, making this authorization permanent. The bill amends Maryland’s Transportation Article (Section 21-809) to remove the temporary 2021 law’s expiration date (June 2026) and updates the system limit to four. Baltimore City’s governing body (the City Council) must still authorize placement through local law after a public hearing, as required by existing state law. This change directly affects drivers using I-83 in Baltimore City and the city’s traffic enforcement planning.
