Police At Appeal Elementary

[residentofcre]

Worst setup? No, there are many that are far worse. The intersection at Appeal may be irritating, but there isn't much chance of a serious accident. I'd be more worried about Dowell or Southern Middle. It has got to be rough getting out of Mill Creek to go south. And there is nothing worse than Huntingtown High, hoping people notice the red light and don't kill somebody.

Those are rough... I grant you....

Before the light was installed at Appeal.... My daughter use to be visably afraid when we came through that intersection.

The problem at Appeal is that there is nowhere for the parents to be. It's just too tight there on the corner. There's no parking anywhere. When they have an event, people park all up and down Appeal Lane.

New comers to the county cannot believe that a deputy used to stop traffic on route 4 to allow the buses out from Northern. He would be run over the first time he tried now.

I remember that.

You went to Northern?

I heard from a parent that was at the scene the gave the driver of the vehicle a breathlizer test. Is this something they normally do just because?

how do you miss a huge yellow vehicle? something had to be wrong with the driver.

Before they instlled the circle at Patuxent, the traffic was terrible. Since the circle, I haven't run into more than 3 or 4 cars waiting at a time.

Are they building a special access road for Mill creek?

I can't wait for that, it will hopefully cut down on the mess at H.G. Truman and Rousby Hall.

I also wish lusby liquors would put a parking lot on the opposite side of their store, facing fastop, maybe that would help with the idiots who insist on coming off route 4 and pulling some stunt to get into that parking lot.

I don't think moving their parking lot will do much good. It will still cause a back up. I wish that they would move their store nito one of the new shopping centers so that it can be bulldozed down to widen the intersection!

well i didnt mean move it completely, but just add another one, so either way 1 should be easily accessable, or easier anyway. But I like your solution, just move it all together.

When you're southbound and wanna turn into Lusby Liquors, it's very easy to jaunt on down to Ace Hardware and use their parking lot to turn around and come back up northbound. I'm amazed at the number of people who are too incredibly stupid to figure that out.

That intersection is dangerous.

I got slammed into about 5 years ago while stopped behind a vehicle making a left turn into Fastop from Rousby Hall Rd. The guy had came flying thru the light and could not stop- pushed me into the van in front of us. Luckily no one seriously hurt, but I had (and still have) issues with my neck after that.

The kicker? The police were on the other side of Fastop finishing up after an earlier accident. The Solmons EMTs had just pulled out when our wreck happened.

Co-worker of mine was hit there a couple years after my accident.

How are they going to manage traffic in that area once Giant and Walgreens are open? I live right inside the front gate, but I may start going out by Little Cove Point Rd. if things get any worse.

Plus sometimes cars are trying to pull out of fast stop and go left on Rousby. Traffic is backed up, but they have left a gap to let people out. Cars will pull through the gap, and cars coming through the light will fly over the hill... neither can see the other.

According to the State Highway plans.............. there will be no more left turns out of Fasttop or Bank of America onto HG Truman. In addition, you will no longer be able to make a left hand turn off of HG Truman into Bank of America or Faststop.... Unless something major has happened....A cement barrior will be installed.

Way back when they first started talking about the new Lusby Town Center, there was supposed to be a Circle at Rousby Hall and HG Truman... The reason they moved Lusby Parkway [and screwed everything up] was supposed to be because the traffic circles at HG Truman and Lusby Parkway would be too close together....

And finally... I asked them to put a circle at the intersection coming out of the Post office and turning left to go into CRE... or coming from HG Truman turning left into the Post Office or the shopping center....

Someone is going to get seriously injured at that intersection... I aso asked them to consider putting a correctly timed light there. That way if you hit one light green it was green all the way through... They liked the idea but that doesn't mean they'll do it...

If they did control that intersection somehow... they could connect it to the Lusby Parkway behind Food Lion and people could scoot right through there and avoid the Rousby Hall/HG Truman intersection all together...

Amen to that!! I've never seen so many people try so many stupid stunts (and in the meantime almost cause so many accidents) trying to get to one place. I know they need their beer but don't kill the rest of us trying to get it.
