HB 1370 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Town of Rising Sun - Stop Sign Monitoring Systems - Authorization of Pilot Program

HB 1370 authorizes the use of stop sign monitoring systems (camera systems that capture vehicles failing to stop completely at stop signs) on State highways within the Town of Rising Sun. It requires approval from the Cecil County Council for specific locations and mandates public notice through local government websites and newspapers. The bill modifies existing traffic law to clarify that these systems can only be deployed on State highways in Rising Sun with local council authorization, not in other areas. It does not create new penalties but formalizes the process for using these systems in the Town of Rising Sun. This directly affects drivers in Rising Sun who may receive citations for stop-sign violations captured by the systems.
