And the carnage will likely continue to get worse. You will notice the following has occurred over the last several years: 1) Traffic enforcement is reduced from what it once was. 2) The County Highway Safety Committee that involved law enforcement, other emergency services and others groups has been eliminated by the County Commissioners. Supposedly, there is a Regional Highway Safety Committee that is supposed to provide highway safety funding to this and other Southern Maryland Counties. Okay, that's fine. Where is it? What are they doing with it? Are they using all of it on education and seat belt checks? Meanwhile, our citizens have family members that die on our roads. If we have funding in Southern Maryland, and that is "IF", then why do we see more and more death and destruction on our roads? If accidents and fatalities increase it seems to me that how they prioritize the funding is not working out very well. How many more deaths will it take before they learn. I asked for the Commissioners to bring back the County Highway Safety Committee. They refused. You are now seeing the result of this and decreased enforcement. For example, distracted driving. Police can enforce cell phone use while driving. They choose not to. Perhaps they have their reason. I have no idea what it is. But, what I do know is that people that are distracted run off the road and die. Therefore, shouldn't they be concerned about at least trying to preserve life? I would hope so. But, do you see it? Lets try enforcement during the afternoon from 2:00PM to 7:00PM on Route 235 from Gate 2 to Route 2 and 4 during the work week. When has the last time you have seen traffic enforcement during "2:00PM to 7:00PM on Route 235 in this area during the work week? I suspect many of you will say either never or not very often.
