  • 8271-8283 Tamar Dr Columbia, MD, 21045, USA - Columbia
    I would like to request that a crosswalk and traffic calming measure be installed at this location.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Log Chain Rd Columbia, Maryland, 21045 - Columbia

    Submitted on behalf of a constituent by District 2, Ashley Alston, Communication and Community Engagement Specialist

    "Log Chain Rd runs perpendicular to Mellenbrook Rd where THES is. It is also where the Thunder Hill pool is. There is a 90 curve right near the pool that, along with the consistent parking between the curve and Thunder Hill, makes that a dangerous road. I am emailing to ask that a speed hump, or two, be put on Log Chain Rd between Mellenbrook and the curve. This will prevent drivers from speeding down that road like they currently do. My son and dogs were almost hit crossing the road at crosswalk. Many kids walk that way to school and to the pool in the summer. Mellenbrook is close to the 29N Diamondback Rd exit and many people take that exit to bail out from traffic in 29. Those people may not be aware of the surrounding area.

    There are several speed humps on Thunder Hill Rd, far from the school, I assume to keep people from speeding down that road. Log Chain Rd needs the same."

  • 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.

  • 9303 Old Scaggsville Rd North Laurel, MD, 20723, USA - North Laurel

    New traffic calming area need to be put in. Vehicles are constantly well exceeding all speed limits on Old Scaggsville Road a silver Toyota Supra is a constant offender going over 60 MPH on this road. It almost lost control and went directly into the telephone pole in front of my house over the weekend. There are always multiple vehicles exceeding the speed limit cars fly up old Scaggsville starting at all saints road going past Gross, Grant, and Bryant. Some vehicles do slow down at the circle at the top of the hill but then pick up speed flying past the new trinity homes to the townhouses at the dead end.

    Some other offers use Robinson as a cut through then speed down either gross , grant , or Bryant to the meet back up at old Scaggsville. All of high ridge needs to be monitored Kids and animal are in danger from lack of side walks and traffic calming areas. Kids can’t even access the public areas (high ridge park, the park at the end of Bryant, the parks at the dead end on old Scaggsville due to lack of side walks and calming areas.

    The excessive speeding on old Scaggsville road and side roads being used as short cuts has gotten totally out of control. Someone needs to do something.

  • 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.
  • 8900–8950 Tawes St Fulton MD 20759, United States - Maple Lawn
    There are two crosswalks across Tawes St that are completely unmarked/unpainted. One is at Tawes and Trappe intersection and the other is at Tawes and Morris intersection. These are crosswalks used daily by kids walking to bus stops. Additionally, these stop signs are often ignored and crosswalk markings would better signal to drivers a need to stop Traffic calming (I.e. speed bumps) are imperative on this street, but crosswalk painting can be addressed immediately
