Page 56 details that the Sheriff is adding a full time position for a station clerk to read red light camera citations. Oddly, I find no mention anywhere in the revenues that might be revenues from the RLCs. Saw mention of a study done in a recent news article.... I'll be putting in a public information request here for that study and any other information that might be laying around about the upcoming deployment. Wonder if it will get stonewalled like so many jurisdictions do with information about these systems.

I know the school bus cameras were supposed to be revenue neutral, with the proceeds going to the company til the system was paid off, no mention of what happened after that. But there has been no mention of how any RLC contract might work.

Remembering what a red light means -- SoMdNews.com
Motorists heading onto the base through Gate 1 and Gate 2 are getting halfway through the intersection on Route 235 and then are stuck on the wrong end of a red traffic light as Pax River security personnel check the identification of those ahead. There they sit, blocking traffic lanes for those who now have the green light.
These are accidents waiting to happen. And happen they do, according to a study of those intersections as part of the initiative to install the red light cameras. That study showed that there were a high number of accidents at those intersections, and that traffic was stacking up in the intersections after the light had changed.
