[RP TownTalk] Traffic Concerns

[The Curries]

Yes, Alice, the Md. SHA has an engineer whose job is to help local
governments with traffic issues on non-SHA roads.  I invited him to look at
a traffic calming issue in my Ward in Hyattsville, and he had some good
suggestions that eventually made it into the recommendations of a
Neighborhood Design Center traffic-calming study for the street.
(Incidentally, at least one of the recommendations broke SHA regulations for
SHA-controlled roads, but we weren't burdened by that limitation since this
was a City street.)  I'd have to sift through old notes to find his name and
contact info, but your traffic committee could probably find him by calling
the SHA headquarters.  -- Chris Currie

Is there cooperative technical assistance available from the county or
highway administration that the town could tap? Even though we are
talking about town streets, we have a regional traffic problem
traveling through our town. Would be great if they could lend a
traffic engineer to liaise w/ our traffic committee.
