Speed Camera Ticket Calvert County, MD | Route 4 Traffic Defense
You’re driving on Route 4 near Prince Frederick or Huntingtown.
Maybe you’re just trying to get home after work.
Then a quick flash in your rearview mirror—and a week later, a ticket shows up in your mailbox.
Welcome to Maryland’s automated speed enforcement system.
If you’ve been “flashed” by a speed camera in Calvert County, you’re not alone.
But that doesn’t mean you should automatically pay the fine and move on.
These tickets may seem minor, but they carry legal and financial consequences that you need to understand, especially when cameras are installed in construction zones or school zones, where the rules are stricter.
Where the Cameras Are—and Why They Matter
In Calvert County, speed cameras are often posted in:
- Work zones on Route 4
- School zones throughout Prince Frederick and Huntingtown
- High-volume commuter corridors near Dunkirk and Lusby
The cameras operate at specific hours, but if you’re caught going 12 mph or more over the limit, you’ll get a $40 fine—no points, but a permanent entry on your vehicle record.
The issue is this: just because it’s a camera doesn’t mean it’s always right.
Legal Defenses We Use
At Haskell & Dyer, I’ve successfully challenged speed camera tickets in Calvert County when:
- The vehicle was misidentified
- The speed zone was not clearly marked
- The notice arrived late, violating the 2-week window
- The photos were blurry, unreadable, or incorrectly time-stamped
- The camera was in an unauthorized location (outside a legal school/work zone)
You have a right to contest these tickets in court. And if you’re a commercial driver or business owner, this matters even more, because even non-point violations can affect contracts, insurance, and licensing.
What Happens If You Ignore It?
Many people toss these tickets, thinking they don’t matter.
However, if the fine remains unpaid, it can double, and the MVA may flag your registration, preventing renewal.
Don’t let a $40 ticket spiral into a suspended registration or credit collections issue.
“Speed camera tickets aren’t always accurate or fair. You deserve the right to challenge them—and I know how to help you do it.”
