[quote=Anonymous]FYI ALERTBUS ticketing cameras in Montgomery county

Please know that all MCPS buses have cameras video'ing ALL vehicles on both sides of highways and roads that generate $250 tickets to whatever lucky license plate the camera can catch that does not stop.

For example, our sitter drives south on River Road by the McD and gas stations by Little Falls. It's a full 3 lanes northbound, a middle turning lane, and 3 lanes southbound.

A northbound school bus stopped in front of the sole apartment building and put its little stop sign out for over 30 seconds. Per the two videos - no one on either side of the highway stopped, presumably everyone got a ticket unless license was not caught by cameras. 6 cars kept going on the southbound lanes, 1 southbound MCPS school bus kept going (!!!), and the sole northbound car going alongside the stopped school bus also kept going.

Multiple $250 times every single major highway stop times every day and that's a ton of money to the county.

Meanwhile, stopping for a school bus 7 lanes away for a kid walking up to their apartment right out the school bus door will get you rear-ended. Also love to know if the southbound bus driver got a citation or firing. They didn't stop and they also drive a MCPS school bus!

Meanwhile MoCo keeps issuing MD drivers licenses to out of state, int'l licenses and fraudulent ID holders WITH NO REQUIRED ROAD RULES WRITTEN TEST NOR BEHIND-THE-WHEEL TEST.  Virginia and Wash DC do. This might really help with all the terrible drivers out there, and help my sitter not get rear ended when stopping for a school bus 8 lanes across traffic. [/quote]
