Olney Maryland Speed Camera

An article in the Washington Post on Nov. 11, 2011 indicated that the speed camera in Olney Maryland located on Georgia Avenue is competing for the highest generating camera in Montgomery County.  Washington Post Article on Olney Speed Camera

Olney, Maryland is one of the best places to live in Montgomery County and Georgia Avenue is traveled extensively by many commuters.  The fact that so many tickets are issued at this location is a confirmation that the speed camera is needed. Speed cameras keep speeds down in dense areas and as a result keep our residents safer.
