OCEAN CITY – Mayor Rick Meehan asked the Maryland State Highway Administration this week to consider adding digital speed signs to Coastal Highway.
During a fall update from State Highway Administration (SHA) District Engineer Mark Crampton this week, Meehan suggested digital speed signs for Coastal Highway.
“I think it’s a public safety issue and I think it’d be a valuable asset to Coastal Highway,” he said.
Crampton met with the council during a work session Tuesday to provide a fall update on a variety of items SHA teams are working on within the resort. He said the agency would be ordering signage regarding the six electric vehicle charging stations the town is working with Delmarva Power and Light to install in the West Ocean City Park and Ride lot this fall. Damaged and outdated signs have also been replaced in various areas and signal timing is being reviewed in areas where there were purported malfunctions over the summer, Crampton said.
As far as the Route 50 bridge, Crampton said work was underway with intermittent lane closures.
Wasteful spending. That’s what these Democrat politicians know how to do best.
Are those signs that tell how fast you’re going, or how fast you should be going?
Those signs are a distraction and there is already enough distractions on coastal highway,.
