Annapolis, MD – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police conducted a concentrated traffic enforcement operation along U.S. 50 in Anne Arundel County on Tuesday, targeting dangerous driving behaviors in the busy Bay Bridge corridor.
According to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, the operation involved officers from both the Bay Bridge Detachment and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Unit. The initiative aimed to address leading causes of crashes, including aggressive and distracted driving, and enforce compliance with the “Red X” overhead lane signals in the area.

Authorities noted that similar enforcement actions are planned at the Bay Bridge and other MDTA-managed facilities throughout the summer travel season. Officials said these operations will be in addition to routine patrols and are designed to support public safety during periods of high traffic volume.
Motorists are reminded to obey traffic laws, pay attention to lane control signals, and avoid aggressive or distracted driving. Those wishing to report unsafe driving on Maryland toll roads can contact MDTA Police Dispatch at 410-537-7911.
