Both cameras are back. I guess they got tired of moving the one camera back and forth so they just put a camera on both sides of the street.   more ›

Seven Courts Speed Camera Spray-Painted, Vandalized

The Perry Hall speed camera is one of at least five damaged in Baltimore County since 2010.

Community members largely supported the Seven Courts camera's installation in July. Speeding and reckless driving are widely regarded as serious problems along Seven Courts Drive. Ire over traffic conditions escalated after a 68-year-old woman was struck and killed while trying to …

County Places Speed Cameras In Private School Zones

Devices at Bais Yaakov and St. Ursula's schools are the first in private school zones.

Speed cameras will be placed near Baltimore County private schools for the first time in the program's two year history. The cameras on Smith Avenue near Bais Yaakov School in Pikesville and on Harford Road between Putty Hill and I-695 near St. Ursula School in Parkville are part of five new cameras announced late Friday by the Baltimore County Police Department.

In addition to the cameras near the private schools, the department plans to install cameras at three other locations: Armacost could not immediately provide information on how the locations for the new cameras, including …

Hey Irvin. The only animal here is you. The fact that an old decrepit idiot like you has not been struck is testament to the compassion of man. Stay out of the road grandpa.   more ›

Not going to agree or disagree with anyone here; just want to mention my experience with a red light camera.....someone stole the tags off my car; two days after I reported it to the police, someone had put them on their car and ran two red lights on Wilkens Avenue. It took a couple of weeks for me to get the tickets in the mail; but the car in the picture was obviously not mine. I called them, …   more ›
