PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration invites residents to take part in an online meeting July 22 and an online survey to gather input on bicyclist and pedestrian needs in Calvert County and other jurisdictions.
On Tuesday, July 22, from 4-6 p.m., a virtual meeting will be held for residents in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties to ask questions and provide additional feedback on areas of interest.
The survey, conducted by the State Highway Administration’s Office of Traffic and Safety, is open through midnight Aug. 7. Participants can access it here and use a digital map to provide feedback on their experiences walking, biking and rolling along corridors of interest. Respondents may also suggest enhanced biking and walking infrastructure to help improve safety for all road users.
The effort is part of an update to Maryland’s Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Assessment, which focuses on improving safety for non-motorists such as pedestrians and cyclists. These vulnerable users make up a growing number of roadway fatalities across Maryland and the nation. Maryland’s first VRU Assessment was completed in November 2023 and is being updated this year in conjunction with federal requirements. After this year, the assessment will be updated every five years.

Here’s an idea, roads with no shoulders ban bike and pedestrian traffic all together
Much like Southern Maryland motorists cyclists ignore stop signs and traffic lights, there needs to be enforcement
how are we supposed to atend the meeting at this point? I guess we could get on the line, spend an hour or 2 + then hang up
is this something to report to the Inspector Generals office? Oh, wait a minute, Maryland doesn’t seem to have an Inspector Generals office.
