Salisbury Implements Red-Light Traffic Cameras
SALISBURY, Md. – The City of Salisbury has installed red-light traffic cameras at nine intersections across town.
The City says the installations have been placed at high-risk intersections, as part of its ongoing efforts to improve roadway safety.
The system will automatically detect and photograph vehicles that are in violation of Maryland traffic law by entering an intersection after the light has turned red. Red-light safety cameras have been installed at the following intersections:
- Northbound N. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13) at N. Pointe Dr
- Westbound N. Pointe Dr at N. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13)
- Southbound N. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13) at Centre Rd
- Northbound S. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13) at W. College Ave
- Southbound S. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13) at W. College Ave
- Westbound W. College Ave at S. Salisbury Blvd (Rt. 13)
- Northbound W. Isabella St at W. Salisbury Pkwy (Rt. 50)
- Southbound Nanticoke Rd at W. Salisbury Pkwy (Rt. 50)
- Westbound W. Salisbury Pkwy (Rt. 50) at Mill St
The City added that they have identified other intersections to install red-light systems at. However, implementation of additional red-light systems will first require further evaluation and approval by the State Highway Administration.
While the cameras are active as of Friday, Dec. 5, a grace period will be maintained for 30 days before notices of violation are issued. During this period, vehicle owners that are issued citations will instead receive warning letters to become familiar with the program. Once fully implemented on Monday, Jan. 5, 2026, the cameras will issue citations with a $75 fine for red traffic signal violations.
City officials say revenue generated from fines will be reinvested back into public safety initiatives. This includes intersection improvements, driver education programs and pedestrian safety enhancements.
“Our top priority is the safety of everyone who uses our roadways. Too often, we see the devastating consequences that result from drivers running red lights, crashes that are entirely preventable,” said Chief Meienschein of the Salisbury Police Department. “These new red-light safety cameras are an important tool to help us change dangerous driving behavior, reduce collisions, and save lives. This program is about prevention, not punishment. By encouraging drivers to stop on red, we can make our intersections safer for all motorists, pedestrians and cyclists in our community.”
