Detailed Explanation

Maryland's SafeZones program uses automated cameras in construction zones to issue citations when drivers exceed the posted limit by 12 mph or more. Fines are doubled in work zones, and cameras operate even when workers are not present (unlike in many states). The citation goes to the registered vehicle owner by mail.
