The Pedestrian Safety Action Plan was published in May 2023, and five initial corridors were announced for improvements late last year. Along with MD 528, seven additional corridors have been identified for PSAP projects: MD 214 and MD 201 in Prince George’s County, US 40 in Harford County, MD 3 Business and MD 235 in Anne Arundel County, MD 193 in MontgomeryCounty and US 40 in Washington County.
Working with community residents, officials and other stakeholders, the State Highway Administration is developing strategies to enhance safety for all roadway users along these corridors by increasing safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The Pedestrian Safety Action Plan is a key component of the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets Policy, which prioritizes safe, reliable, equitableand sustainable travel across all modes to make roads safer and connect Marylanders to jobs, education and economic opportunity.
Projects under the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan also support Maryland’s Vision Zerogoal, which seeks to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries on state roadways by 2030.
