Speed Cameras Shifting Locations In Baltimore County

TOWSON, Md. (AP) -- Police in Baltimore County are shifting the locations of three of the county's 15 speeding cameras.

Spokeswoman Elise Armacost tells The Baltimore Sun that the cameras will be moved to school zones at Middle River Middle School, Eastern Technical High School and Catonsville High School. Schools that will lose cameras are Sparrows Point High School, Hawthorne Elementary School and Lansdowne High School.

The county also plans to add a new camera next year at Perry Hall High School.

It will be the first time that the county has changed enforcement locations since the speed camera system took effect in 2010.

Armacost says Police Chief Jim Johnson plans to add cameras at additional schools but the number and locations have not yet been determined.
