  • 5602 Lightspun Ln Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia
    Can traffic calming please be installed and a clear residential speed limit be posted? My kids play in a court off this road. The cars on Blade green come down the hill incredibly fast- I am afraid for my kids safety.
  • 6519 Freetown Road Columbia, MD - Columbia
    Resident would like to request a 4 way stop at the intersection of Freetown Rd and Quarterstaff
  • 9108 Tymat Ct Laurel, Maryland, 20723 - North Laurel
    Please add a stop a 4 way stop to this intersection. People drive too fast and endanger kids walkers and other vehicles frequently.
  • 5705-5727 Columbia Rd Columbia, MD, 21044, USA - Columbia
    I finally got an answer to why commercial trucks are permitted to park all up and down Columbia Rd even though this practice presents a safety hazard in addition to being an eyesore. Columbia Rd between LPP and Clarksville Pike is NOT considered a "residential street" because (supposedly) there are no residential houses that front onto the street. So therefore, trucks are permitted to park there. Here is proof this notion is incorrect. There are houses fronting 5700 Columbia I'd Road. I'd like Columbia Road to be correctly reclassified as a residential street.
  • 5600-5602 Phelps Luck Drive Columbia Maryland - Columbia
    There should be a traffic calming sign at Phelps Luck Drive and Blade Green Lane, there is a Mailbox on one side of this road that requires residents to cross the road and vehicles are not stopping for pedestrians. Vehicle also seem to be driving faster than the 25 mph speed limit.
  • Carved Stone & Snowden River Pkwy Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia

    For the northbound Berger Road approach, it would be helpful to change the lanes to a left/thru and right only. Since the side streets have the split phasing, there is no need to make the right turns wait behind thru vehicles.

    In my last case, # 6021542, I was told the alignment of that approach would put drivers in the grass median on the other side of the intersection if going straight from the left lane. I respectfully disagree. The alignment from that left lane would almost directly out them in the left lane on Carved Stone. There is already a keep right sign in that median to help drivers avoid the median. If there is a concern over vehicle paths, a dotted line could be installed across the intersection to help drivers.

    The current lane assignment is not typical for most intersections with this type of split phasing in our area since people expect the the lefts and throughs to share a lane.

    Please reconsider this.

  • 6052 Tamar Dr Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia
    At least once a week I almost get hit driving on Tamar by cars that run the stop sign turning left from old Montgomery. Either more signage is needed or a speed bump or a stop sign camera that issues tickets because it’s very unsafe.
  • Halflight Garth & Treefrog Pl Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia
    Vehicles are parking too close to the corner of Halflight Garth and Treefrog Place on both sides of Treefrog Place. Look at the photo and you can see how close the vehicle is to the street sign at the corner. This has been an ongoing occurrence.
  • 6131 Fairbourne Ct Hanover, MD, 21076, USA - Elkridge
    Speeding on Fairbourne Ct and through neighborhood.
  • Luckpenny Pl Columbia, Maryland, 21045 - Columbia
    People are parking really close to the intersection making it incredibly difficult and dangerous to turn from luckpenny onto Phelps luck. The picture in question shows a car parked just north of luckpenny pl (when exiting the street it's to the left). Another car was there this morning and this happens frequently. Request a "no parking from here to corner" sign to reduce the view obstruction.
  • Tamar Dr Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia
    There is no sign stating "Share the Road" or "Bike may use entire Lane" in this area.
    Today, I was riding in the slow lane (there is no shoulder) and there was an incident behind me between two cars. Only having heard it and the screaming as they passed me, I assumed that the cars do not know the law.
    This is regular cycling road for myself and many others.
    Additional signage could not hurt.
  • 16700 Old Frederick Rd Mount Airy, Maryland, 21771 - Howard County
    A dangerous intersection at E Watersville Rd and Old Frederick Rd, it currently has two stop signs but I think it should be at least a 4 way stop signs with flashing stop signs. The intersection is adjacent to Mount Airy Christian Academy school.
    I have personally observed multiple almost accidents at this intersection and have also been involved in near collisions at this intersection.
