Police in Annapolis, Maryland, USA, are to begin using speed cameras around local schools on weekdays between six in the morning and eight at night.

For the first thirty days, only warnings will be issued; after that motorists caught driving as twelve mph or more over the speed limit will get a US$40 citation in the mail.
Initially, the cameras will only patrol two schools, but more will be added every two weeks, with the goal of all of them being patrolled by May.

Not all of the designated areas will have cameras at the same time. The city has three cameras for the entire program, two of them mounted inside Ford Escape sport utility vehicles so they can be moved.
