Intersection Improvements

Harford County studies traffic movements and improves intersections throughout the County. Types of improvements include, but are not limited to widening to allow for an additional lane, relocation for better turning movements, site distance improvements, and safety improvements.

Drainage Improvements

Harford County Highway Maintenance repairs stormdrain systems on County maintained roadways. These improvements include repairs to failing stormdrain systems, installation of addition stormdrain inlets where necessary, and the extension of the stormdrain system where necessary.

Traffic Calming Requests

Requests for neighborhood traffic management must be made in writing by a Homeowners Association for neighborhoods with associations, or by individual citizens where no community association exists. Once the request is received, Harford County Public Works (traffic division) staff will conduct a traffic study of the road to determine the roadway classification, traffic volume, speed and physical geometry. This information is reviewed and points assigned to each category to determine if the road is eligible for traffic calming. The requestor will be notified in writing of the results, recommendations and, if applicable, the next steps in the process.

 

Street Light Requests

Residents can request the installation of a street light at intersections. See Intersection Lighting for installation details.

Traffic Signals

Harford County and the State Highway Administration will investigate intersections throughout the County for the possible placement of traffic signals. If certain criteria are met, based on those established by the manual on uniform traffic control, a signal will be programmed for installation.
