So, the SOMDNEWS article mentions the Lexington Park/California for speed cameras

So, here's the thing. You can only place speed cams in a marked and designated school zone. MD law says a school zone is that area within 1/2 mile of a school. So, there are two schools close enough for that zone to extend to 235, Green Holly and Esperanza. As far as I know, neither of those schools marked school zones extend to RT 235. SO, are you all okay with the county extending those school zones out to the main drag, in violation of the intent of the school zone law, just so they can place cameras? If it's been unsafe out there on 235 for the kids, why haven't there been marked zones before? Even been any speed related incidents involving students from either school on 235?
