About the traffic study

• The result of citizen concerns about safety, congestion and

emergency access on Rt 214 past Muddy Creek Road

• Covers Rt 214 from Muddy Creek going east
• Conducted by the county in November 2017
• Looks at peak travel times on weekdays and on Saturdays
• Looks at current conditions and forecasts FUTURE conditions,

with recommendations

7 Key Intersections

1. MD 214 at MD 268 (Muddy Creek) 2. MD 214 at Loch Haven 3. MD 214 at Selby Boulevard/River Road 4. MD 214 at Turkey Point Road 5. MD 214 at Shoreham Beach Road 6. MD 214 at Mayo Ave/Rogers Road 7. Shoreham Beach Road at Triton Beach Road

• More info in next part of the presentation
• Detailed data is in the report

Study Assumptions

• The study assumes:
• Full build-out of approximately 650 homes as forecast by

the county

• Approximately 1,126 parking spots as outlined in the

current draft plans for county parks on the peninsula

General Conclusions

• Conditions are expected to get a lot worse if development

continues as expected

• Full package of recommendations: approximately $35M
• To think about: We need to identify which if any of the

proposals should be acted on first – what gets the most bang for the buck and actually has a chance of being funded?

• To think about: In pressing for changes to Rt 214, bear in mind

that improvements may help with safety BUT can also create the chance to allow more development on the peninsula

• To think about: If development continues as expected, the

problems we have now will worsen, even if we act on the full package of recommendations

3 General Strategies

Depending on the intersection…

• Add lanes
• Create traffic circles
• Add shoulders for safety
• Next: We’ll hear more about the study’s findings and some

specifics on the 7 intersections

• More options, and more details, are in the study itself.
