The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has installed new posts to help improve safety at the problematic Seminary and Warren intersection.

MCDOT hopes that these will raise driver awareness on approach to the intersection, allowing for safer road crossings in the crosswalk, as well as more cautious turns onto Seminary from Warren. These measures are in response to our earlier engagement with MCDOT about issues experienced with this intersection.

The LCA Traffic Committee is in ongoing dialog with MCDOT on these measures and plans to provide additional feedback on their success, inadequacy, unforeseen consequences, etc.
