The Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for regulating traffic, parking, bicycle, and pedestrian operations on County-maintained roadways. This includes investigating and addressing requests involving speed limits, new guardrail installation, safety investigations, turn restrictions, parking restrictions, through-truck traffic, warning and directional signing, crosswalks, handicap parking spaces, fire lane signing, sight obstructions, and anything else affecting the flow of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
The time required to implement a resolution to the problem can vary anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending upon the scope of what needs to be done, the need for further investigation or design, the need to review proposals with the community, work schedules, weather, and funding.
To submit a request about traffic operations on a County-maintained roadway, please call the Traffic Engineering Division at (410) 222-7331 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to request to speak with a Traffic Engineer. They will gather your information and schedule a return call. An evaluation about what action should be taken will usually be developed by a Traffic Engineer based on the scope of the concern. Safety concerns and sound engineering judgment shall take precedence in all decisions.
