Description
Is it possible to add a cross walk at the entrance of the condo's association 6001-6009 Majors Lane coming from the elementary school? The children run between cars going home and the school directs the parents out of the lot to the right onto Majors Lane. Then at the entrance of the condo's the children run across the street unattended. If we can add a crosswalk and crossing guard, it would eliminate a child being hit by a car and would be more controlled.

Please note that when considering the possibility of a traffic signal at a given location, we are required to follow the guidelines set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD, a Federal Highway Administration document that is used nationally and adopted by Maryland and its jurisdictions, outlines minimum requirements to ensure that traffic signals are used where they are found to be justified through a comprehensive and objective analysis. This particular intersection does not meet federal warranting for a traffic signal.
Your request for crosswalk and crossing guard has been tasked for evaluation in coordination with Howard Count Public School - Transportation and Howard County Police - Crossing Guard Unit. We thank you for your continued patience.
