Yes, in Maryland, stop light and stop sign violations are typically misdemeanors that carry a $140 fine. If a stoplight or stop sign violation leads to an accident, the fine is increased to $180.A red light or stop sign accident can also result in the at-fault driver facing civil liability through a personal injury lawsuit. Personal injury liability is not contingent upon the at-fault driver being cited for a violation, so even if the at-fault driver didn't get a ticket an accident victim can still pursue a claim.
