P.G. rolls out new speed cameras for start of school year

Prince George’s County will switch on its first speed camera Monday to coincide with the opening of the county’s public schools, when about 127,000 students will begin walking, biking and riding the bus to school. A single camera, stationed on Allentown Road near Isaac Gourdine Middle School and Tayac Elementary School in Fort Washington, will be set up during the first month of the speed camera program.

While dozens of Prince George’s County municipalities have made speed cameras a common presence in the county, Prince George’s had yet to start its own program until now.
