Program Description:
The Town of Cheverly Speed Enforcement Safety Program is operated by the Cheverly Police Department. It is a safety program focused on changing and improving driver behavior in school and residential permit zones through an inclusive effort involving education, engineering, and enforcement.
The Cheverly Speed Enforcement Safety Program uses automated speed enforcement to enhance the safety of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and children in the school and residential permit zones within the incorporated limits of the Town of Cheverly, Maryland.
The guiding principles are to:
- Clearly identify and communicate speed-related safety issues to the public.
- Make speed enforcement sites visible to road users through signage and media outlets.
- Deploy automated speed enforcement in school zones where they are needed.
- Promote a fair program by deploying automated speed enforcement only after careful consideration and studies.
- Ascertain the effectiveness of the speed safety program through continuous evaluations.
How the Program Works:
Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) systems are located in the selected school and residential zones that must be within the incorporated limits of the Town of Cheverly, Maryland, with a maximum posted speed limit of 35 per hour. The speed enforcement system may be moved to different locations within designated school zones as the need arises.
The speed enforcement systems are comprised of a speed measurement device, a camera, and a computer. Speed measuring devices identify motorists that travel 12 MPH or more over the posted speed limit.
The cameras capture the license plate images of violations, and the onboard computer records all the data associated with the violation. When the violation occurs, the automated speed equipment will record the date, the time, and the speed of the vehicle.
The citation, which includes images of the violator's vehicle citing the above information, is then mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Once the violator receives the citation, payment or request to stand trial can be mailed to the Town of Cheverly Police Department at PO Box 17012, Baltimore MD 21297-1012.
