The Frederick County Department of Engineering
and Construction Management announced that Frederick County has
contracted with an outside vendor to install traffic calming devices at the
intersection of Lew Wallace Street, Stone Barn Drive and Urbana Pike in the
Villages of Urbana subdivision in Urbana, Md.
Construction work began today and installation
will continue throughout the week for traffic calming devices, including a 3”
high “Watts profile” speed hump on Lew Wallace Street and a 3” high raised
crosswalk on Stone Barn Drive and Urbana Pike. The devices are designed
to slow vehicles to a reasonable speed as they traverse the intersection and
will not prevent snow plowing operations or impede emergency response
vehicles.
