County committee backs point‑to‑point speed monitoring on Route 210, moves to support PG‑309‑26

The Prince George’s County General Assembly Committee voted unanimously Jan. 27 to support PG‑309‑26, a local bill that would expand point‑to‑point speed monitoring on Maryland Route 210, also known as Indian Head Highway.

Jabari Green, presenting for the proposal, said MD‑210 is among the county’s busiest and highest‑incident roadways and that the legislation seeks to discourage “serial speeders” by expanding fines and penalties, including suspension of vehicle registration for repeat automated enforcement infractions.

“Due to this road being a high risk area, speed monitoring systems have been installed to penalize reckless drivers and speeders,” Green said in the committee presentation. He told the committee the bill passed a law‑enforcement subcommittee with a favorable report but remains on hold at the delegation level for review.

Council member Meredith Harrison moved to support the bill; Council member Hunter seconded. The clerk called the roll: Chair Waneka Fisher — Aye; Vice Chair Adam Stafford — Aye; Council member Harrison — Aye; Council member Hunter — Aye; Council member DeNogu — Aye. The motion carried 5–0.

Committee discussion focused on the corridor’s crash history and the bill’s intent to target repeat offenders. The committee did not attach conditions to its motion; staff and proponents said they would provide follow‑up details requested by delegation members.
