Improve vehicular and pedestrian safety in the Villages of Urbana

The last section of Worthington Blvd that connects to Urbana Pike (please see attached snapshot) has turned into a race track for pick up trucks and motor cycles and the traffic noise is getting worse by the day.

Worthington has obvious issues as many pointed out. I also believe that the intersection of sugarloaf parkway and Hartwick is very dangerous because drivers stopped at the stop sign on Hartwick cannot see east bound cars on sugarloaf. There should be something else like warnings, reduced speed limit, speed bump, stop sign, right only on Hartwick, or remove some parking alon sugarloaf fot better visibility.

I have noticed an increase in volume and speeding and am concerned about the pedestrian safety crossing Worthington. As a dog owner, I cross Worthington or Sprigg Street, South at different times and see that some drivers don't yield for other cars in the circle so yielding to pedestrians waiting to cross is out of the question. This needs to improve especially when kids are involved.

We have the same issues on Addison Woods Rd. People frequently go right through the stop sign never stopping.

Speeding, racing, no stopping at crosswalks

I support a traffic light where Urbana Pike traffic is forced onto Worthington where we now have six lanes and no traffic light. This is due to recent changes made by new TH construction Redirecting the traffic flow. Or for the TH developer can put the intersection back the way it was before they started the new build so Urbana Pike cars can stay on Urbana Pike. They should revert or they can pay for a traffic light.

Speeding on Belvedere Drive happens every day and Stop signs get rolled by all the time. A real problem in Village 12.

Cars fly by our house everyday, we need to slow down the traffic, possibly set up speed bumps or something where needed.

With townhomes built so close to the road, it is possible young children might run out into the street. People need to drive slowly.

We should consider changes to how pedestrian interact with this main streets as well as have the police enforce speeding etc. Most often folks exiting 270 when traffic is backed up there.

I think our community need lots of bump..on every street...

We need traffic support along Carriage Hill. I have sent photos and requested crosswalks from Carriage Hill St. to the Goddard School entrance walk ways for years now. When children/families walk Carriage Hill from Centerville many cross here each day throughout the school year. We welcome Frederick County police to utilize our parking lot evenings and weekends to run speed traps or to even come observe throughout the day. With the long "straight away" on Carriage hill it appears to encourage fast driving. We need speed bumps and another Crosswalk.

We desperately need measures to slow vehicular traffic down on Worthington Blvd.! Preferably, a traffic circle at Lew Wallace.

Ignoring posted speed limits is a problem. Tail-gaiting is another issue I've encountered when I've been maintaining the proper speed limit. Please slow down and observe the speed limits in our community.

Too many people seem to ignore ALL the speed limits no matter what road they are on. Certainly in the Villages where more pedestrians are crossing streets (including students walking home) it has become very dangerous. With all the construction in SE Frederick County, I have witnessed first hand speeding dump trucks & other construction vehicles through Urbana and surrounding areas, like MD 75 & 80. I would love to see more measures to curb the speeding.

Too many HS students I see driving like maniacs through traffic circles. I have seen several near misses.

I live in The Villages, and I feel concerned about drivers who speed through areas with children playing nearby. I have also seen many drivers who do not understand how traffic circles work.

I support the need for increased safety measures in VOU.
