SALISBURY, MARYLAND – Drivers in Salisbury will see automated enforcement at several busy intersections as the city activates its new red light camera program. The city announced the rollout online, stating the initiative targets locations with documented crashes and violations. The cameras record vehicles entering an intersection after the signal changes, and enforcement begins once an initial warning period ends.
Federal traffic data shows red light running contributes to tens of thousands of crashes each year nationwide, including hundreds of fatal collisions. The camera sites were selected based on crash histories and traffic studies.
Cameras are operating at nine locations, including several along Route 13 and Route 50.
Intersections listed by the city include N. Salisbury Boulevard at N. Pointe Drive, multiple approaches at W. College Avenue, and locations at W. Salisbury Parkway, Mill Street, Isabella Street, and Nanticoke Road. The city notes other intersections may be added later pending approval from the Maryland State Highway Administration. A 30-day warning period began December 5. Drivers who trigger the system during that time will receive notices without fines until January 4. Citations carrying a $75 penalty will be issued starting January 5.
City officials report revenue from the program will support traffic safety projects, including education efforts, pedestrian improvements, and intersection upgrades. Police Chief Meienschein said the intent is to reduce preventable crashes and improve safety.
