Description
At the intersection of Montgomery Road and Debra Jean Drive, someone in a "sheriff" marked vehicle stopped and then proceeded to cross the intersection in front of a car coming up Montgomery Road from Elkridge. People do not realize that this is only a two way stop and continue across this intersection quite a bit. The sheriff vehicle was crossing Montgomery Road where they should have stopped and waited for the traffic to get to go by. This intersection needs a light or better yet, a roundabout.

A traffic light or 4-way stop sign is desperately needed. It is only a matter of time before there is a fatal accident at this intersection.
A simple traffic analysis of the # of cars/hour doesn't really adequately assess the risk of this intersection - as mentioned above people don't realized it is only a two way stop. Additionally cars are always speeding on montgomery road and the road curvature significantly reduces visibility, which makes it very difficult to make a turn safely, particularly at rush hour.
Please address this for all of our safety.
