Route 32 Gets Sorely Needed Safety Attention

As discussed here recently, a rash of deadly accidents on Maryland Route 32 near Sykesville, has galvanized action on the part of both Howard County and the State of Maryland. http://www.maryland-law.com/blog/physicians-wrongful-death-in-howard-county-motivates-safety-improvements-on-route-32.cfm

The county and state announced jointly a series of measures designed to eliminate many of the conditions which led to several wrongful deaths on 32.

These include the placement of three large signs both Northbound and Southbound advising motorists to "Pay Attention-Watch For Left-Turning Traffic". The provision of rumble strips near 32's intersection with Amberwoods Way, River Road and Day Road and later this fall construction of left turn lanes at each of these intesections.

Additionally, speed trailers will tell motorists how fast they are going.
