Descripción
Traveling eastbound on Nicholson Lane in Rockville you have 3 lane choices as you approach the intersection with 355: one for turning left/going straight, the middle lane for going straight only, and the right lane for right turns only onto southbound 355. However, because of the odd line of sight the middle lane cars often don't realize they should stay to the right as they cross the intersection because there are cars in the left lane going straight. I've almost been hit and/or flipped off many times by drivers assuming they have the right of way and I was in a left turn only lane just trying to force myself into their lane. Clear arrows need to be painted on the eastbound intersection lanes, and lane markings should also be painted right across that intersection since it doesn't line up evenly to the eye. Crossing 355 on Nicholson going westbound is not a problem at all, all the lane crossings make sense.

Kris,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have discussed this with County traffic engineers who will investigate.

Thank you again for alerting us of this issue. County Traffic has investigated and informs me that the location is within an interstection controlled by the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA). Traffic staff contacted SHA and learned that a work order has been issued to install lane line extenstions at this location.

While crossing 355 these lanes shift to the right by more than one full lane width. I'm glad this is being addressed, but it should have had clear lane markings crossing the intersection from the start.
And I see the same panhandler mentioned earlier; while I feel for him, for everyone's sake I did call the non-emergency police number when he stood between lanes even after the light turned green. He retreated to the sidewalk when the light turned green since then, but if he is endangering himself and others, please call 311 or 240-777-4000.
