The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is increasing work zone speed violation penalties with a new tiered fines system to be put in place in 2025. Part of the Maryland Road Worker Protection Act passed in Maryland designed to protect highway workers went into effect in June of 2024, with speed cameras placed in more work zones across the state. Larger work zones may have more than one camera, according to SHA.
The new law also increased speeding fines from $40 to $80.
