Members of the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Traffic Safety Section, with the assistance of the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Aviation Unit, conducted a high-intensity speed enforcement detail on Route 10 on April 4, 2023, during the midday hours. Utilizing marked and unmarked cars and motorcycles for the three-hour detail, officers made 36 traffic stops and issued 33 citations for egregious speed violations and nine warnings for move-over violations.

The Aviation Unit observed multiple speeds above 85 mph and relayed the violator information to units on the ground. Triple-digit speed readings up to 105 mph were observed.

This enforcement effort is a continuation of directed enforcement patrols conducted on various county roadways due to crashes, aggressive driving, and speed complaints.
