Chesapeake Beach Maryland Will Slow Down Speeders with Optotraffic

LANHAM, MD--June 15, 2011: Optotraffic announces that it has entered into a contract with Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, to provide a complete Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) program which will operate in the Beach Elementary School Zone.

“We selected Optotraffic because it is a well known Maryland Company”

Chesapeake Beach is responding to a longstanding issue of speeding in the resort town. Town officials are committed to reducing speed overall and especially in the School Zone on State Highway 261.

“We selected Optotraffic because it is a well known Maryland Company,” said James L. Parent Jr., Town Administrator, “that uses an innovative technology, capable of enforcing in two directions simultaneously with only one piece of equipment.”

First in Calvert County to employ ASE, the town of Chesapeake Beach joins the 15 other jurisdictions that already selected Opto traffic to improve public safety by reducing speeding via automated enforcement.

Optotraffic has taken the lead in ASE since the Maryland law was enacted in 2009. With an emphasis on accuracy and superior hands-on service, Optotraffic has worked with communities to significantly reduce the incidence of speeding and thereby increase public safety for the people of the cities, towns and counties where it operates. Since October 2009, Optotraffic has added more than one hundred employees from the Maryland area.
