Brekford Corporation has secured a contract to provide the Landover Hills township in the US state of Maryland with its school zone speed cameras and related programme support services.
The town of Landover Hills initially plans to implement portable and mobile cameras, which will be installed near the schools residing in the town.
For the first 30 days, Landover Hills police department will use the speed cameras to issue warning notices to vehicles exceeding the speed limit by 12 miles per hour or more over the posted speed.
After the initial 30-day period, drivers captured speeding will then be issued a $40 speeding citation.
The value of the contract was not disclosed, but, the contract is for one year with five renewable years.
The state of Maryland passed legislation in May 2009 allowing municipalities to operate road safety technology in school and work zones to cut down the number of speed violations.
Brekford is a provider of fully integrated vehicle installation and rugged technology solutions geared towards mission critical operations.
