Baltimore Begins Speed Camera Enforcement on Jones Falls Expressway

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT) has relocated two automated speed enforcement cameras on the Jones Falls Expressway (JFX) to enhance safety and reduce speeding violations. Starting March 24, motorists exceeding the speed limit by 12 miles per hour or more will receive $40 citations by mail, following a 15-day grace period. The new camera locations are on the northbound JFX at Smith Avenue and southbound at W. North Avenue, with warning signs and digital speed feedback displays installed to alert drivers. Since the initial rollout of speed cameras in 2022, over 585,000 citations have been issued, raising concerns about their role in generating revenue beyond safety improvements. BCDOT emphasizes that any revenue beyond operational costs will be allocated to expressway enhancements. The cameras operate continuously throughout the year to monitor compliance.
