Deskripsyon
I recently bought a house on the northeast side of Race Rd in Elkridge. I'm extremely concerned about the speed in which cars and large trucks (Coca Cola, Schmidt Bakery, etc) fly down this road. The area of concern is where the speed limit drops from 30mph to 25mph. People easily go 40-50 mph in the 30mph zone and definitely do not slow down when it changes, so most people are going double the speed limit though a residential area with narrow lanes and without side walks. There are several children, pets, and blind driveways in this section. I feel like I could get hit every time I turn onto my road. I'm not saying that the entire road needs traffic calming, but it should at least when it turns in the 25 mph zone.

Agree with this resident's assessment and concern on the 25mph stretch of Race Road and calming should be considered for Furnace Av as well with all the high density residential projects going on.
Truck traffic being restricted in Hanover Rd is now using Race/Furnace and signs are being knocked down almost every week. Coca Cola truck with Caution Wide Turns signs in the back come thru daily. Speeders who think it's funny the road is named Race claim they like to race the CSX trains. Other residents have erected "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here" signs on Race, and kids at River Watch play in the street on Furnace. There is also more pedestrian activity on Race as the Elkridge Furnace Inn has expanded its footprint. Should also have a marked crosswalk crossing Furnace at Race. Oh, and more houses being built on the west side of Race as we speak.

Recent counts (11/29/17-11/30/17) showed average volume 1066 vehicles per day and operating speed of 37.5 MPH. Volumes are less than the required minimum.
