A ticket issued through Montgomery County’s automated traffic enforcement program is a civil violation similar to a parking violation. You may pay the fine by phone, which is an admission of guilt, or you may request a hearing. According to Maryland State law, the registered vehicle owner is responsible for the citation. Questions about your citation can be requested by phone or sending an email to the email address provided below.

We also strictly enforce failing to come to a complete stop prior to making a right turn on red.

  • Registered owner of vehicle receives a $75.00 civil citation.
  • No points will be issued against the vehicle owner’s driving record.
  • Failure to pay fines will result in one's inability to renew the vehicle registration.
