Successfully Urges County to Install
Turn Signals at Silver Spring Road
|
In the past
year, the
office of Senator Kathy Klausmeier received numerous calls and e-mails
from constituents who were concerned by the lack of left turn signals
for motorists looking to make a left turn from Silver Spring Road onto
Honeygo Boulevard. Senator Klausmeier forwarded these constituent
concerns to Darrell Wiles of the Baltimore County Bureau of Traffic
Engineering and Planning. As a result of these communications,
Wiles and his staff completed a study of left-turn signal needs at this
intersection. This study revealed that the conditions at this
intersection had changed since they had taken a look at the same
intersection several years ago. Due to the increases in the number of
cars making left turns, Wiles and his agency have deterined that
left-turn signals would be beneficial on both approaches of Silver
Spring Road.
In the near future, the installation of these left-turn signals will
require the establishment of designated left turn lanes on both
approaches and the widening of parts of the intersection. It is
anticipated that work on this project will commence sometime during the
Spring of 2011.
“I am pleased that Baltimore County has decided to install the
left-turn signals. We received several calls and e-mails and this
was a matter of great importance to the people who contacted me,” said
Senator Klausmeier. “I am happy that I was able to provide a
service by urging the county to heed these constituent concerns and to
be of service to the people who live and drive in this area.”
