speed camera on river rd in Montgomery county?

I never got a speeding ticket at River Road x Wilson Lane were the red light camera is very tricky - particularly if you are doing a left turn going West from River to Wilson - you got a ticket just by passing the stop line without even moving or turning (2 tickets!) while all the other nearby left turn signals on River Road do not have a separate left turn signal. Another infamous and tricky speed camera is located at north of the Chevy Chase traffic circle on Conn. Ave (3 tickets!). Ticket fines supports 1/3 of Chevy Chase Village's total budget!

At this rate you alone will be supporting the whole MC budget!

The same camera caught you 3 times because it is "tricky"? What kind of tricks does it do to get you over the speed limit when you know there is a camera there?

I can confirm there is in fact a speed camera on River Road located somewhere between Seven Locks Road and Falls Road. There is also a fairly new one located on Seven Locks Road south of Bells Mill, I forget if it is north or south of River though.

If you were asking if the redlight cameras are also speed cameras, then the answer is no. In Montgomery County at least the cameras are either one or the other, not both. I do not know of any speed cameras that are exactly at an intersection, so that is an easy way to know which is which. Red Light at intersection, Speed along the roadway not at intersection.

I got 1 and my wife got 2, 1 before we knew there's a speed camera. By the way, it's easy to forget the camera and go over 30MPH on a six lane (both sides together) road because we travel thru it all the time.

MontCo sets the cameras to trip at 10 over so if you got "tagged" then you were doing better than 40 in a 30.

I got caught once on Connecticut Ave just north of Chevy Chase circle. With MC spreading RL & Speed Cameras as fast as they can for revenue purposes, we need to make sure that we get these locations into the database.

FYI, if you wish to discuss the issue with Chevy Chase Village, Chief Roy Gordon may be contacted at roy.gordon@montgomerycountymd.gov. The website for their Safe Speed Cameras is : http://www.ccvillage.org/layout.cfm?cat=4&subcat=359&cc=2

I have to disagree. I know that camera is there and I have it in my GPS - somehow I still got a ticket for 42 in a 30 even though I know I always slow down for that camera. I don't think the camera is accurate.

Can you dispute it?

There is red light camera at the intersection of Montrose and strathmore. In kensingon md

Avoided a ticket that I surely would of gotten. The camera is located on a road where it's very easy to creep over 30 mph

Even if you "always slow down" that means to me you routinely drive that section of River Rd at better than 30. If this is the camera that's just west of Falls Rd and set to catch those heading into DC, then it is very easy to be doing over 40 coming off the two lane where it expands to handle the village traffic at Falls Rd. Of course, the camera can be faulty as well. With the new law, the trigger speed will have to be reset to 42 or they will have to throw out all tickets for people doing between 10 and 12 over.
