Traffic light desperately needed at this intersection. An assessment of traffic volume does not adequately assess the risk of this intersection to drivers and pedestrians given the driving speed and road curvature which limits visibility.

I agree with this description of the problems at this intersection.

Some else reported this 2 months ago and issue still hasn’t been looked into. Also the road is absolutely treacherous due to construction and the parts that are done need to be repaved IMMEDIATELY. Please fix.

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

When considering the possibility of a traffic signal or multi-way stop control at a given location, the County is required to follow the guidelines set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD, a Federal Highway Administration document that is used nationally and adopted by Maryland and its jurisdictions, outlines minimum requirements to ensure that traffic signals and multi-way stop conditions are used where they are found to be justified through a comprehensive and objective analysis. A traffic signal warrant analysis was performed on October 13, 2015 for the intersection of Marshalee Drive at Deborah Jean Drive and Montgomery Road, and none of the nine warrants were met per the federal guidelines for the installation of a traffic signal.

A follow-up Multi-Way Stop Warrant Study was conducted for the intersection of Marshalee Drive at Deborah Jean Drive and Montgomery Road. Using the same traffic counts used for the signal warrant analysis, and police reported accident history, a 4 - Way stop condition is not warranted.

Considerations will be made to conduct a traffic volume count and warrant study in the future when additional single family residential developments are constructed and those units are fully inhabited.

When was the "follow-up" study performed and where is the data? The MUTCD states that even if none of the 9 qualifications are met, there could be justification for a signal anyway. We, the taxpayers that live in the communities around this area, want a solution is place as the status quo is unacceptable.

Could a circle be considered for this intersection? Also, the building around here has really increased in the 2 years since this study was done. Not only the homes off Deborah Jean, but homes off Landing road (they travel straight through here to get to Landing)

Please consider adding a traffic light BEFORE someone dies from an accident here. I was driving along Montgomery going to Marshalee when a car on the right pulled out in from of me. I had to slam on my breaks and the car behind me swerved off the road to avoid hitting my vehicle. We need and want a traffic signal here, so please listen to your citizens.

On April 1, 2018, ~ 2:30 PM, a car pulled out on us at this same intersection as we were driving from Koffel Court to Marshalee, again noting the danger that this intersection poses and the need for a traffic light no matter what the state criteria might be.
