Speed humps are inappropriate for a minor arterial roadway such as Rogers Avenue. The approaches of Rogers Avenue are being evaluated for any feasible signing enhancements, while investigation is to be made regarding accident history at the intersection of Rogers Avenue at Valley View Way, including sight-distance evaluation entering the intersection from Valley View Way.
Guardrail height/repair: interdepartmental coordination is being made regarding possible modification to address limited sight as described above while preserving intended impact dispersion system.
Please feel free to contact us at (410) 313-2430 to discuss any of the above items in greater detail.

Good morning,
An investigation has been completed on and it was determined that the vehicle on Valley View Way can see the vehicles coming eastbound direction for over 900 feet. I have attached a photo that shows the clear view of the road, and the drivers can see the vehicles coming from the intersection of Columbia Pike (Rt# 29) and Rogers Ave. According to Howard County Design Manual Volume III, the sight distance is measured staying 10 feet back of the adjacent road.
Thank you for contacting our office with your concern. I apologize our office is unable to assist you further with your request.
