More lights probably aren't gonna happen, cause you need the traffic to justify them. A partial fix would be a much shorter wait time for traffic coming out of Locksley. More breaks in the traffic on Randolph would slow it down. The wait has finally decreased from one of the longest in the county to more tolerable, but it could be even shorter. There is NEVER a back up at this light due to entering cross traffic....any backup is cause further east at New Hampshire Ave & Randolph.
Then to put the speed camera at Hawkesbury and Randolph...the cars really start speeding (50 and up) at this point.

You'll notice the cops do a bang-up ticket business when they post a radar gun at Randolph and Kimblewick

Carefully timed lights - like on Route 1 in Alexandria - allow cars to go through at 25 mph w/o stopping.
On Randolph road, driving 50 mph for 1/2 mile, then stopping at a light for 90 sec, gives an average speed of 25mph - while seriously increasing the risk of a road crash.
Maryland SHA or Montgomery county could add extra lights to slow down the PEAK speed - while maintaining an AVERAGE speed that is actually FASTER than what happens now - and it would save lives, limbs, and reduce property damage.
