Transportation Secretary Swaim-Staley Demonstrates How Automated Speed Encorcement Works

The law that allows automated speed enforcement was passed during the 2009 legislative session and becomes effective on October 1. Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley was joined by legislators, law enforcement and traffic safety agencies to demonstrate how the new automated speed enforcement technology (ASE) will function in work zones to kick off the new pilot program – Maryland Safezones. The goal of the Maryland SafeZones program is to use this new technology to modify driver behavior and to make work zones safer for workers, drivers and their passengers.
