Megan Cook advocated for safety improvements on U.S. Route 50 in Easton, supporting the Town of Easton's request for a Safety Corridor designation with the State Highway Administration. Talbot County crash records show 415 police-reported crashes at five Route 50 intersections between 2019 and August of this year, including two fatalities. The State Highway Administration is currently undertaking a $9.9 million project to add sidewalks and signalized crosswalks to the corridor.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The infrastructure project involves significant public spending on safety upgrades, including sidewalks and signalized crosswalks. The improvements are intended to address high traffic risks, particularly where drivers routinely exceed the posted 35 miles per hour limit. New regulations, such as Maryland's Vulnerable Road User Protection Act, also impact road usage.
