Thank you for submitting your request to the Howard County Department of Public Works\Traffic Engineering Divison. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond.

Several people have run this stop sign in the last few days

Good morning,

An investigation has been completed and it was determined that the stop lines are not required this time. Dunloggin RD stop signs are in place, drivers are required to stop in accordance with the laws prior to entering Macalpine Rd. Our office is required to follow all applicable Federal and State warrants in regards to installing stop lines. Stop lines are used as supplement of stop sign, and the use of stop lines as requested are to inform drivers to stop at a specific point not to emphasize an existing stop sign therefore the use of a stop lines would not be appropriate at this location at this time. Also, sight distance has been performed at this intersection on 08.24.2023, and federal warrants at this intersection are not satisfied.

As speeding is an enforcement issue, I encourage you and other residents to contact the Howard County Police to request enforcement - it would aid them if you can provide them with a typical time of day you notice speeding the most. An alternate option is to request the HCPD deploy a radar speed feedback sign; this device is temporarily installed on a rotating basis. Both requests can be made through the HCPD non-emergency number, (410) 313-2929.
HCPD is accepting the reporting of non-emergency traffic complaints via online reporting at the following link: https://www.howardcountymd.gov/police/report-traffic-complaints . Complaints are being accepted in three categories, Isolated Traffic Incidents, Recurring Traffic Incidents, and Parking Complaints. The internet portal is what is used by HCPD to determine and schedule enforcement.

Thank you for contacting our office with your concern. I apologize our office is unable to assist you further with your request.
