"CAUTION" may be more effective than "SLOW" ...?

Good visual clues on this one.

DPW HWYS Ricky F将个问题分配给DPW HWYS Traffic

Per HoCo Traffic Engineer Jennifer Biddle, the suggested signage noted above is not compliant with local requirements - but her team is looking for compliant signage. Need for additional signage, not just replacement of flooded out signage, was discussed.

Temporary traffic cones were placed on the centerline of Main Street in the interim lead time for delivery of flexposts that were recently installed on the west end of Main Street as part of a test traffic calming configuration. Placement of cones in conjunction with the flexposts will not allow for required 11-foot minimum lane width on an arterial roadway.
Pre-flood speeds could not be collected from a HCPD device destroyed by the May 27, 2018 flood, however, a speed data collection device has been deployed post-flood/post-test calming implementation. As speeding is ultimately an enforcement issue, it is encouraged that citizens contact the HCPD for enforcement, even while the effectiveness of test calming is evaluated.

This issue has not been addressed. Main Street remains without safety signage from Rogers Ave to Ellicott Mills Dr.

Also note that test calming flexposts are not effective as placed.
The previously placed center cones did effectively slow traffic, to the point that vehicles stopped and waited for parking cars and pedestrians crossing roadway. It was the safest Main St has ever been, but now traffic is back to 30-40mph and residents are not safe parking or crossing the road.

This dangerous speeding issue remains.

The flex cones on the shoulder are not slowing traffic.

Cones in the center DID effectively slow traffic, drastically so.

Please don't waste any more money or time. PLEASE help our safety!

Flex cones DO NOT slow traffic. Center cones were effective.
The safely if our neighborhood cannot be neglected any longer.

Would the installation of bollards work? Or changing the asphalt in that area to pavers or a polymer cement overlay?

Update: The center lines have already eroded away again. And the flex posts continue to have no impact.
Please help our safety!

Howard county Police Department claims they can't enforce speed limit here.
This community is historic. My front door is 6' from the road. Children wait for school buses just feet from commuters speeding 40-50mph, at times faster.
Please help us.

Neighbor just reported their vehicle door and mirror were struck while mother was placing baby in vehicle this evening.

Please add signage and enforcement to Main St community from Rogers Ave to Ellicott Mills Drive.

The "Twenty is Plenty" campaign appears to be effective for communities like ours. Please consider safety solutions for our community.

Neighbor at 8550 reported his side view mirror was hit, despite being parked inside the white flex cones.

Please consider increasing signage visibility for community safety.

Speed limit sign is covered in foliage. Yellow center lines are eroded from dangerous curve, have been since January.

Speed limit sign at community entrance completely hidden by foliage.
Yellow center lines further eroded at dangerous curve.
It's been 10 days since reporting the above, and 391 says since initial request for pedestrians and community safety.

Every night dump trucks speed around this bend. Perhaps a construction zone speed camera?

Speed limit sign at Rogers Ave remains obscured.

Yellow lines at 8572 Main St curve remain eroded away and absent. I cannot overstate the danger in speeding traffic that crosses that line.

Center line flexi posts successfully managed commuter traffic around the bend in West End.

Please don't close this request. As business district popularity increases, traffic through our modestly narrow Main St increases.

Center lines still eroded.
Spring will bring additional traffic to shops through our community. We also anticipate increased pedestrian traffic as town events continue to increase in frequency.

Our sidewalks are inadequate for pedestrian passage and require egress via Main St. Speeding continues unchecked due to HCPD concerns for safety.

Please take consideration of commUNITY safety seriously, being preoccupied with flood recovery is no longer an excuse for neglect.

Please install traffic calming signage to protect community living on Main St in Historic Ellicott City.
