Baltimore To Install New Speed Cameras On JFX

Baltimore’s Department of Transportation has announced plans to relocate automated speed cameras along the Jones Falls Expressway (JFX), also known as I-83, in a move aimed at enhancing road safety. The new locations are selected based on areas where speeding and crashes are more frequent.

The cameras will be shifted from their current spots near the W. 41st Street bridge, located on both the north- and southbound lanes of the JFX. The goal is to reduce the number of accidents and increase overall safety along the highway.

Mayor Brandon Scott commented, “Speeding and reckless driving make our roads less safe. Thankfully, since the installation of the JFX speed cameras, we’ve been able to hold accountable those who put others at risk on the road.”

The relocated cameras will now monitor the northbound JFX at Smith Avenue and the southbound lanes near W. North Avenue. A 15-day grace period will allow drivers to adjust to the new camera locations. Starting Monday, March 24, the cameras will begin issuing speeding tickets.

Speed enforcement signs will be posted along the expressway to inform drivers. Vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit by 12 mph or more will be fined $40.

According to Maryland state law, the revenue generated from these speed cameras will cover operational costs for the system, with any excess funds dedicated to improvements on the expressway.
