Thanks to our friends here for joining SafeRoadsMD Maryland Coalition for Roadway Safety, Inc. at this afternoon's Rockville Public Service Awards luncheon convened by the Greater Rockville Chamber of commerce.

It struck me that the awardees are everyday people, with the exception that they are highly trained and don't hesitate to risk a great deal to save others. In other words, they are not really everyday people but rather extraordinary public citizens who deserve acclaim, and frankly whom we can never adequately repay.

I-270 is today, lethal. We need automated enforcement of the posted 55mph on this roadway. Nearly all drivers speed. Some drivers die.

A man was killed after a two-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on the express lanes of Interstate 270 on Friday.

As more cyclists are on the road, drivers must stay alert, give at least 3 feet of space when passing, yield to bikes like you would other vehicles, and drive the posted speed limit.

People slow down. Pay attention!

In just 4 days, SHA has tragically lost two of our team members to senseless and avoidable work zone crashes. These individuals were fiercely dedicated to improving Maryland's roadways.

The continued disregard for roadway workers is unacceptable, and everyone must do better. Your actions have real and life-changing impacts on families, friends, and our colleagues.

Motorists MUST slow down, move over and pay attention - especially in our work zones. Each and every one of our workers deserves to do their jobs and return home safely.
