Maryland Clocks Thousands Of E-ZPass Drivers Speeding
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Maryland Transportation Authority has clocked thousands of E-ZPass users speeding through state toll facilities, but the agency isn’t issuing speeding tickets.
The Baltimore Sun reports the agency began recording the speed of E-ZPass drivers in 2002. Last year there were 23,454 speeding violations clocked. But there are no signs at toll booths showing speeds are being monitored.
Maryland law allows the agency to revoke a driver’s E-ZPass transponder for 60 days after a second violation within six months. But the agency’s current policy is to mail warnings to drivers caught speeding.
They need to update their readers, turnpike readers let you pass thru at 55 mph, slowing down causes traffic backups, the transponder is supposed to help save time and eliminate traffic backup DUH!!!!!
Keep your transponder in the foil bag when you're not on a toll road - or going through a toll booth.....and slow down to a nominal speed.
ReplyDeleteThere are transponder detectors all over the place that are used for tracking - instead of tolling.
