Helpful hint for MDSHA: when you have to add all those "puppy tracks" in the intersection to show drivers where to go, that means your intersection is too big.
On Fri 2/20/26 6:54 am
the driver (42/F) of a 2018 Hyundai Kona
going east on East West Hwy/410 at 16th St/390
hit & injured a pedestrian (68/F)
crossing properly in a marked crosswalk.
Police (MCP301000CV) did not find anyone at fault.👀

@mdsha How is Maryland doing on this?
Great thread and blog by @nacto.bsky.social about state adoption of the MUTCD!
"For a document that emphasizes uniformity and rigidity, there is inconsistency and a lack of transparency in the states’ updates to the MUTCD"
Congress now requires more frequent updates, so these features matter more

Happy (?) birthday to the 11th edition of the MUTCD!
It’s been two years since the FHWA published the 11th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which sets detailed standards for U.S. road markings, speed limits, stop signs, and traffic signals.

Really cool opportunity for those with the ability to attend!
From the Losingar site, it says it is critical to set a target for how many miles of road need transformation or speed calming measures
That would be an incredible step for any state, city, or our federal government
