One Reply to “MD Bike/Ped Crash analysis of 2006 MHSO crash data”

  1. donhaller-
    Your presentation was very interesting. I’m sure it raised a few eyebrows. I hope it helped some see how are roads and drivers are here in Maryland.
    I moved here from South Carolina in 2004 and was totally appalled by the total disregard for traffic laws and speeding. Also the almost total lack of enforcement in most areas. I have even become conditioned to it and find myself at times rolling with the crazies on Rt 50 and 495. I also live right off of Rt. 170 (Telegraph Rd. in Anne Arundel County) and know of at least four or five deaths on a small stretch of that road in the past two years involving both pedestrian and auto collision. The speed limit is 50mph there, which makes it more like 60 in a residential part of Telegraph Rd. When cycling, I have to ride Rt. 170 coming and going from my home, and I’m never really at ease on that road even with wide burms on each side in most places. I know this is only one road out of many, but how many more pedestrians, cyclists and drivers got to die before it becomes an issue worth dealing with.
