Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems is an enforcement technique with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles traveling 12mph over the roadway’s posted speed limit. Images captured by ASE systems are processed and reviewed in an office environment. All citations are reviewed and certified by a police officer (OPERATOR). Violation notices are then mailed to the registered owner of the violating vehicle. Often, ASE systems are referred to as speed cameras.

Per the Maryland Annotated Code, school zones can only be established within a 1/2 mile radius of a school. School zones must be established by placing signs designating the school zone and signs that designate the maximum speed limit applicable in the school zone.
