White Marsh, Maryland—The Maryland Department of Transportation will coordinate with the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration and the Maryland Police Automated Speed ​​Enforcement (ASE) Program for Maryland Safety Zones to deploy speeds for construction activities on I-95 in Baltimore County Law enforcement equipment.

Beginning Monday, December 20, ASE equipment will be deployed on I-95 northbound near the 67.5 mile mark in White Marsh. This device will be used to prevent speeding in the current work area along I-95. Pre-warning signs are set up in front of the work area to remind drivers to use automatic speeding enforcement, and there will be "speeding trailers" on site to show the driver's speed.

After the 21-day warning period, the police will begin issuing subpoenas on Monday, January 10. According to the law, if a recorded vehicle travels at a certain speed or exceeds the published speed limit—the published speed at that location is 65 mph—the registered owner of the vehicle will be fined $40.

The goal of SafeZones, Maryland, is to slow down drivers and make the work area a safer environment for staff, drivers, and passengers. Even if no workers are present, the work area may be dangerous due to uneven roads, lane shifts, reduced shoulders, and other modifications.

The current work is part of MDTA's $1.1 billion I-95 express toll lane northbound extension plan to ease congestion and improve traffic along the I-95 corridor into Harford County. The large-scale project started construction in May 2021 to widen the northbound route of I-95 between MD 43 (White Marsh Boulevard) and MD 152 (Mountain Road) to make way for the ETL extension. It is expected to open to MD in 2024 152, it will fully extend north of MD 24 by 2027.
