PG County, MD was given permission in 2009 to install speed cameras, however this not implemented by the previous County Executive. The current County Executive has resurrected the idea. Details are here:
PG Gazette Aug 2, 2011 article

From the article, "Prince George’s County will begin using speed cameras on roads starting Aug. 22, county police said." .. "The first camera will be placed on Allentown Road near Isaac Gourdine Middle School in Temple Hills.."

"Within a year, there will be 72 speed cameras that take photos of vehicles traveling 12 mph or more over the posted limit.."

F.Y.I, Isaac Gourdine Middle School = -76.95219, 38.77014

Other municipalities within PG County have independently installed speed cameras (which are currently operational):

Cheverly - Initial Notice - Web Site
College Park - Initial Notice - Web Site
Forest Heights - Initial Notice - Web Site
Glenarden - Initial Notice - Web Site
Mount Rainier - Initial Notice - Web Site
New Carrollton - Initial Notice - Web Site

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

Unfortunately, these appear to be of the mobile variety.

P.G. County ....

In general and Bowie in particular, was a great place to grow up.

But in the words of S.E. Hinton, "that was then, this is now".

not sure if they can really generate revenue out of this? .... putting aside the safety factor...

think vandalism could be one of the concern there
