The one-month demonstration program covers key intersections throughout the city.
BOWIE, Md. — Bowie Police want to remind drivers to slow down and obey stop signs as the new school year begins in Prince George's County.
The police department just launched a one-month demonstration program featuring stop sign cameras at key intersections in the city. For the next month, stop sign cameras will be operational at two or more of the following intersections:
- Kenhill Drive at Belair Drive
- Belair Drive at Stonybrook Drive
- Mt Oak Road at Ann Arbor Lane
- Fred Robinson Way and Evergreen Parkway
- Pointer Ridge Drive and Parkington Lane
- Pin Oak Parkway and Peachtree Lane
The high-resolution cameras have real-time monitoring capabilities to capture and record stop sign violations.
Tickets will not be issued during the demonstration period. The objective is to reduce stop sign violations, gather data on effectiveness and get feedback from neighbors.
"What this is for us is giving us an opportunity to look at a tool to see if it would fit in for our enforcement," said Captain Robert Liberati. "Our citizens have told us about issues with traffic, specifically people running stop signs, speeding, etc."
Public feedback will be essential in evaluating the initiative's success and considering its future implementation, the police department said.
Those who wish to provide feedback can do so on the police department's website, or by contacting the department's non-emergency response number at 240-544-5700.
