Maryland is stepping up its game on road safety starting October 1. New driving laws will hit the streets, with much heavier fines for speeding caught by cameras and tougher criminal penalties for serious violations. New cameras will appear along dangerous roads like I-83, I-695, and Route 200. These are aimed at curbing crashes in high-risk areas. For drivers, this is a clear warning: slow down, or face bigger fines and legal trouble.
