Speed Cameras

To enhance public safety within Sudlersville School Zones and safeguard our children, the Town of Sudlersville has approved Automated Speed Enforcement.
Speed Enforcement Cameras will be at various locations within a ½ mile radius of a school, within town limits. The radar camera will capture images of a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit by 12mph or more and the registered owner will receive a citation in the mail for a $40 fine.  Automated speed enforcement citations are considered civil violations, so no license points are assessed.
Why is Sudlersville choosing to utilize this type of technology?
Speeding is a serious problem nationwide. In school zones, staying alert and obeying the posted speed limit is imperative for the safety of students and other pedestrians.
The safety of kids is our #1 goal! We hope this will encourage motorists to obey posted speed limits and slow down!
