If you go 40 in 25mph zone and get hit by a speed camera it costs you $40 and no points on your driving record.

Now I know why people speed in Gaithersburg.

This is the new policy.

Speed Camera Citation Fines Starting October 1, 2025:
It starts at 12 to 15 miles per hour over the speed limit with a $40 fine.
For those 16 to 19 miles per hour over the limit, the fine rises to $70.
A $120 fine is for speeders going 20 to 29 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Those going 30 to 39 miles per hour will get a $230 fine and the stiffest fines of $425 are for speeding over 40 mph.
Citations are still civil and will not count for any points on your license.
