On October 29, Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will meet
with residents and other stakeholders to review information and get input prior
to conducting a Pedestrian Road Safety Audit on Lockwood Drive. Road safety
audits are a formal, data-driven process used by MCDOT to identify safety
issues and potential improvements in a specific roadway corridor. Field
reviews over several days will provide information on how MCDOT can make the
roadway safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The meeting will be held at the third District Police Station, 1002 Milestone Drive, Silver Spring, at 6 p.m.
At the meeting, roadway users and agency representatives will review pedestrian
crash data in the area and provide input to the field review process. Once
the audit is completed, MCDOT will develop recommendations to improve the
roadway’s safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
