Maryland Highway Work Zone Speed Cameras Rack Up Violations
The slogan “Click It or Ticket” was a marketing gimmick to get drivers to buckle up, but a new iteration in Maryland and the District might be this: We click it, and we ticket.
That has nothing to do with seat belts and everything to do with speed cameras, whose clicking produced 473,708 tickets in Maryland last year, worth $18.9 million if everybody paid up. District speed cameras, in the first seven months of fiscal 2012, pumped out 225,000 speeding and red-light tickets with a value of $30.3 million.
