Five new speed cameras in Baltimore County are scheduled to go into service Wednesday, according to a police department statement.

Motorists who exceed the speed limit by at least 12 mph will receive warnings for the first 30 days, then citations will be issued. Tickets can carry a $40 fine, but the citations do not add points to drivers' licenses.

The cameras operate 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the year, even when school is out.

The county will have 27 total operational cameras.
