Five Greenbelt Speed Cameras Up and Running

Five Greenbelt speed cameras are live, according to Greenbelt Police spokesperson Officer Kelly Lawson. They're running and on the lookout for motorists speeding on school zone roadways.

Greenbelt's first official speed camera went active Tuesday morning on the 7700 block of Hanover Parkway near Eleanor Roosevelt High School—with its lens pointed toward eastbound traffic. Lawson announced Tuesday night that the other four were active.

Motorists caught violating posted speed limits by 12 mph or more by any of the cameras will get warnings in the mail for a minimum of 30 days from Tuesday. After that they'll get $40 tickets, according to Lawson.

The cameras are active from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., on Mondays through Fridays, including holidays, Lawson said.

Camera Locations

• Crescent Rd. between Northway and Greenhill roads
• 7700 block of Hanover Pkwy.
• 7700 block of Mandan Rd.
• Edmonston Road at Springhill Ct.
• 5900 Cherrywood Lane

Some locations have two boxes, so the cameras can be moved from one side of the road to the other, Lawson said.

City Council voted Sept. 10 to designate school zone roadways in Greenbelt, opening the door to speed cameras.
