UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — Public school students in Prince George’s County are heading back to class and speed cameras in school zones are back in operation.
County schools will be opening their doors again on Monday, and to keep children safe the county will activate 56 cameras. The county also plans to add another 16 cameras in October.
According to AAA, the Prince George’s county police department issued about 349,230 tickets from automated cameras in school zones during the 2011-2012 school year. They cost the violator $40 each and netted the county more than $5 million.
