Automated Enforcement Program

Program Overview

The Prince George's County Automated Enforcement Program was launched on August 22, 2011. The program is administered by the Prince George's County Police Department's Automated Enforcement Division (AED).

The goal of the program is to increase traffic safety on roadways in Prince George's County using automated enforcement devices that enforce speed limits and red light signals at certain intersections.

Enforcement locations are published on the Police Department's website and in a newspaper of record.

Speed Enforcement

Speed enforcement signs are placed on each roadway with automated speed enforcement cameras.  Citations are issued to vehicles traveling 12 or more miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

These citations are verified by a police officer and a citation notice, to include the vehicle's speed and photographs, is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. The citation notice explains how to pay a violation or how to request a hearing in court. Fines are $40 and are civil infractions that do not assess points on a driver's record.

Red Light Enforcement

Red light citations are issued to vehicles that enter an intersection against a red signal. 

These citations are verified by a police officer and a citation notice, to include a photograph of the violating vehicle's rear registration plate, is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. The citation notice explains how to pay a violation or how to request a hearing in court. Fines are $75 and are civil infractions that do not assess points on a driver's record.
