FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
AUTOMATED CAMERA ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM
Q: What is
the Citation Fine?
A: The fine for violating a monitored traffic signal is $75.00
(set by Maryland State Law). If the citation is not paid or appealed as
required by law, the citation will be automatically judged liable and you will
forfeit your right to appeal.
Q. Will I
get any points on my driving record or will my insurance be affected?
A:
No, this is a civil penalty similar to a parking ticket and no information
is shared with the DMV or insurance companies.
A: The due date is clearly listed on the citation and must be received and processed by the police department on or before stated due date. If the payment is not received by the due date, the registration for the vehicle may be suspended.
Q: Is there a grace period?
A: No. There is no grace
period.
Q: If I go
to trial and am found "liable/guilty" can I defer payment?
A: No. If the judge assigns a fine, the amount due must be paid
at district court on the day of trial. If a citizen is found liable/guilty at
trial and leaves court without paying the fine, your vehicle registration may be suspended.
A: Not at this time.
A: No. After the citation is paid you must obtain a VR-119 form
from the issuing jurisdiction. In order to have the flag removed, this form
must be provided to the MVA by the registered owner or a representative. The
City of Greenbelt will provide the VR-119 free of charge. It is the
responsibility of the vehicle owner to contact MVA and have the flag status
removed.
