As of October 3, 2011, The Salisbury Police Department will begin the warning phase for its speed camera program. For a period of thirty (30) days Automated Speed Enforcement Systems in the areas of East College Avenue, between John Street and Arthur Court, and Emerson Avenue, from Union Avenue to Talbot Street will be monitored for speeding. The owners of vehicles traveling more than twelve (12) miles per hour over the posted speed limit will receive a warning letter by mail notifying them of the violation. This is only a warning and there is no fee associated at this time. The Salisbury Police Department urges drivers to be alert and drive responsibly in these school zones.
7:18, a good question. During the two-week or Christmas "break" last year, I was "caught" by the speed camera and sent a $40 bill from Baltimore County. No school was in session when this happened, but I was still ticketed. I wrote a note on the bill that I had been in unfamiliar territory and that school was closed for Christmas, asking that "they" reconsider. Of course, that never happened. I could have contested the charge, but that would mean traveling to Towson; it was easier to pay the fine.
It will be interesting to see how long those cameras stay in the area unharmed.
ReplyDeleteHow many hours of the day will they operate? How many days of the year will they operate?
