Baltimore lists proposed speed camera sites
The city of Baltimore isn't keeping the 51 proposed locations of its first flight of speed cameras under wraps. You can find a full list of intersections that are expected to be equipped with the cameras at this city web site. The list will become final Nov. 2, the day the city stops issuing warnings and begins sending out actual $40 tickets.
It looks as if the Dixon administration has done a good job of distributing them to all parts of the city except for purely industrial areas where there are no schools.
Northern Parkway appears to have grabbed the honors for the street with the most camera locations -- five. Anyone who drives that road can attest the distinction is well-deserved.
The first 51 locations for speed cameras wiil be at intersections where the city operates red light cameras. Some red light camera locations are not within a half-mile of a school, as required by the state law authorizing speed cameras.
Slow down and you'll never have to worry about the speed cameras, which cut drivers 12 mph worth of slack before issuing a ticket.

Great, another yes-man that blindly accepts anything the Government tells you.
The Dixon administration hasn't done a good job of anything, except raising taxes and using best buy gift cards for their own personal use.
And The Sun wonders why its overwhelming liberal tone has resulted in an eroding subscriber base???

Are those red light camera locations?
Posted by: Cullen Vandora | October 7, 2009 8:22 PM
That is a link to RED LIGHT cameras, not speed cameras.
You fail.

"which cut drivers 12 mph worth of slack before issuing a ticket"
then why not just raise the speed limit to the apparently safe enough 12mph number and have a zero tolerance policy from that?
arbitrary:
Based on individual discretion or judgment; not based on any objective distinction, perhaps even made at random.
unrestrained by law; tyrannical
based on discretion or preference; sometimes impulse or caprice

Anonymous,
They are retrofitting the red-light cameras to also enforce speed. It appears you are the one that has failed.

Ron, to answer your question: I believe most of these new speed cameras are at existing red-light camera locations. I recognize a lot of these locations and they have red-light cameras.

Are any of these roadways, which drivers should be slowing down on, used by pedestrians or bicyclists? Do these roadways have driveways for residences or businesses?
Sure you can comfortably drive a car 90 miles an hour down some of these roadways if that is your desire, but these roadways have other uses than a driver's need for speed.
