Prince George's County - Crosswalk Monitoring Systems - Authorization PG 323-26

HB 1227 authorizes Prince George’s County to install crosswalk monitoring systems in school zones to detect drivers failing to yield to pedestrians. It establishes that drivers recorded violating this rule may receive citations and face civil penalties, with fines collected directly by the county for uncontested cases. The bill also prohibits contractors administering these systems from being paid based on violation counts and specifies that penalties for violations recorded by crosswalk systems follow the same procedures as other traffic monitoring systems under Maryland law. This applies specifically to school zone crosswalks in Prince George’s County.
