The Anne Arundel County Police Department announces the activation of a new automated red light traffic enforcement camera. The existing program uses fixed red-light camera units to maintain automated traffic signal enforcement, with the goal of improving safety on county roadways.

The camera unit will go live on July 16, 2026, at Route 2 Ritchie Highway and Ordnance Road (Southbound). The Anne Arundel County Police Department uses crash data and safety assessments to determine suitable camera locations.

โ€ข Hours of Operation: Red light cameras operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure consistent traffic enforcement.

โ€ข Warning Period: A 30-day warning period will be in effect at each new camera location before citations are issued.

โ€ข Citations will be issued for vehicles violating the red traffic control signal. The fine is $75.00. There are no added late fees. An MVA administrative flagging fee applies if the citation goes unpaid and the vehicle registration is flagged as a result.

โ€ข Citations will be mailed to the registered vehicle owner and include photos of the violation, date, time, and location

The Anne Arundel County Police Department continues to receive information regarding phone scams impacting our community.

As a reminder, law enforcement and government agencies will NEVER call to demand immediate payment. Scammers posing as officials use fear, urgency, and high-pressure threats (e.g., warrants for arrest) to coerce victims into paying via untraceable methods like gift cards or cryptocurrency.

๐–๐š๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐’๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ฌ:

-Demands for immediate payment.

-Threats of "immediate arrest" or legal consequences.

-Instructions to keep the call secret.

-Efforts to keep you on the line to prevent you from getting help.

-Stop and Pause: Do not panic; take a moment to clear your head.

-Hang Up: Terminate the call.

-Verify Independently: Never use contact information provided by the caller. Look up the official agency number separately to verify any claims.
