School Zone Speed Cameras
The Calvert County Safety for Students Speed Enforcement Program is in effect year round. The speed cameras will be moved randomly between the school zones. As a courtesy, the locations of the cameras are posted on the Calvert County Sheriff's Office website and Facebook page.
• Cameras are active year round, Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. This does not alter any posted speed reduction times.
• Citations are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, and only if the speed was 12 mph or more over the posted speed limit. The camera will adjust for the reduced speed times.
• A school zone speed camera violation is a $40 fine with no points.
