Baltimore City is adding two new speed cameras on the Jones Falls Expressway to continue reducing car crashes, while concerns about revenue and privacy have been raised. Colorado has launched an automated speed camera program focusing on work zones, starting with CO 119 between Boulder and Longmont, aiming to reduce speed-related fatalities with an initial warning period before fines are enforced.
