Automated Enforcement Program

Program Overview

The City of Glenarden’s Automated Enforcement Program was launched in 2010. The program is administered by the City of Glenarden Police Department.

The program aims to increase traffic safety on roadways in the City of Glenarden using automated enforcement devices that enforce speed limits and red-light signals at certain intersections.

Enforcement locations are published on the Police Department's website and have been published in a newspaper of record.

Speed Enforcement

Speed enforcement signs are placed on each roadway with automated school zone cameras.  Citations are issued to vehicles traveling 12 or more miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

These citations are verified by a police officer, and a citation notice, including the vehicle's speed and photographs, is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. The citation notice explains how to pay a violation or request a court hearing. Fines are $40 and are civil infractions that do not assess points on a driver's record. Late and flagging fees are assessed for violations not paid before the due date.
