New Speed Camera Locations

On or after June 1st, 2010 a speed camera will be put in place in the 3700 block of southbound Rhode Island Avenue. This camera will assist the police department in enforcing the 25 mph speed limit southbound on Rhode Island Avenue between 38th Street and 34th Street. The camera will be operational from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Effective immediately violations recorded by this camera will result in the violator receiving a notice of violation.

On or after June 1st, 2010 a speed camera will be put in place in the 3100 block of Queens Chapel Road (near the intersection of Buchanan Street).

It would help if you post speed limit signs on Rhode Island Avenue southbound to indicate 25MPH Zone ahead and improve the speed limit warning signs or other physical indications of a School Zone ahead. The most prominent Speed Limit sign is a 35 MPH sign at 4404 RI Ave and then none after that until a 25MPH a half block after 37th Street intersection and beyond the school. This is a dangerous situation as the signs are inadequate to warn motorists of the School Zone till after they pass through it.

Please check the speed limit signs before the 37th street intersection on Rhode Island Ave. Southbound. I only saw a 35 MPH sign at 4404 RI Ave and then didn't see the 25MPH sign until a half block below 37th street (southbound) after passing through the school zone. There should be clearer signs or street markings warning motorists of a school zone ahead as it is a very unsafe situation to have 35MPH signs and then none following that until you are beyond the intersection and the school. Thank you for your attention to this potential safety issue.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it. It will activate from almost anywhere inside your house and will keep honking and flashing the lights until either your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the remote entry fob. It works if your vehicle is parked in your driveway or garage. So, the next time you come home for the night and start to put your keys away think of this: Put your car keys beside your bed when you retire for the night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
