How did Rockville select the locations for its speed cameras?
Maryland law requires that speed cameras will be used only in residential and school zones where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. To determine the specific locations for speed cameras in Rockville, the City compiled data to determine the top 50 residential speeding areas in the City. Then, the City worked with a citizens advisory committee to determine the criteria for how roads within the City of Rockville would be prioritized for speed camera use. Those criteria included the road’s proximity to schools, parks and crosswalks, whether there is a presence of a sidewalk and the number of citizen concerns expressed about speeding in a particular area.
