The Anne Arundel County Police Department announced the launch of the Automated Red Light Traffic Enforcement Program.

The program will utilize fixed red light camera units to maintain automated traffic signal enforcement, with the goal of improving safety on county roadways. Two camera units will go live on May 7, 2025, at Arundel Mills Boulevard (westbound) at Arundel Mills Circle and George Clauss Boulevard (northbound) at Quarterfield Park Drive. The Anne Arundel County Police Department uses crash data and safety assessments to determine suitable camera locations.

“Our Vision Zero Plan directs us to focus safety efforts where crash data shows the greatest need,” said County Executive Steuart Pittman. “The Automated Red Light Enforcement Program is a data-driven strategy that reduces dangerous driving behaviors and makes our roads safer for everyone.”

“This Automated Red Light Traffic Enforcement Program underscores our commitment to enhancing the safety of everyone who travels our roadways,” said Anne Arundel County Chief of Police Amal E. Awad. “We believe these red light cameras will serve as a constant reminder to drivers of the importance of obeying traffic signals, making our intersections safer for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists.”

Red light cameras are a proven tool for reducing crashes at high-risk intersections, helping to prevent injuries and fatalities while promoting safer driving behaviors. For counties, programs like this support broader Vision Zero goals, lower emergency response and healthcare costs tied to traffic incidents, and improve overall quality of life by making roads safer for all users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
