Maryland cracks down on reckless driving

 In March 2023, six construction workers died when two cars, driving at more than 100 mph, collided and crashed into the work zone.

After a highway crash involving two vehicles driving more than 100 mph left construction workers dead, Maryland increased penalties at automated speed cameras in work zones. 

A tiered fine system now penalizes speeders up to $1,000, doubling when workers are present. 

In early 2025, 48,000 citations were issued across 10 zones.
