MCDOT’s Traffic
Engineering Division is retiming all the traffic signals in the Silver Spring
Central Business District to provide more time for pedestrians to cross the
street. Crews began work on Sunday, February 14 and will complete the retiming
on Sunday, February 21. MCDOT is modifying 34 signals to allow pedestrians 3.5
seconds per foot of crossing time.
Pedestrians are urged
to remember to press the pedestrian push-to-walk button to get the pedestrian
walk signal.
