The functional classification of Montgomery Rd near US 1 is a Minor Collector. This type of roadway is designed to connect local roads to one or more major collectors or higher classified roadways like US 1 where commercial trucks commonly use. In addition, the intersection at US 1 at Montgomery Rd is in active industrial/commercial zoning. For these reasons truck restriction doesn’t warrant at this location at this time.

This issue has been addressed and will be closed in Tell HoCo. If you require more information, please contact Department of Public Works Highways office 410-313-2430.

Truck restriction is warranted for the intersection of Old Washington and Montgomery. If you don’t believe it, come by and watch a big truck try to make that turn.

I totally agree with "anonymous". Exact same issue at intersection of Bonnie View Lane and Old Washington despite the fact that the big rigs are not permitted on Bonnie View. They come anyway and then have a difficult time making the turn onto Old Washington, frequently taking out the Stop Sign. A more helpful response to these issues in the older area of Elkridge would be to tell us how to actually get these situations changed.

Any update? Two tickets for this question date back to 2018.
