The speed monitoring system enforcement program in the Town shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable provisions of § 21-809 of the Transportation Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, as may be amended from time to time, and other applicable law.
Unless the owner or driver of the motor vehicle received a citation from a police officer at the time of the violation, the owner or driver of the motor vehicle is subject to a civil penalty in the amount of $40 if the motor vehicle being driven is recorded by a speed monitoring system as being operated in a school zone in excess of the posted speed limit, with such penalty to be assessed in accordance with § 21-809 of the Transportation Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, as may be amended from time to time.
