MCDOT Opens First ‘Protected Intersection’ and Bicycle Signal

MCDOT joined the CE, councilmembers, and other supporters of bicycle infrastructure to open the first “protected intersection” in the Region. The intersection at Spring Street and Second Avenue in Silver Spring connects a new half-mile “cycletrack” with a previously completed section to form a 1.2-mile bikeway. Also, the State’s first bicycle traffic signal provides indication of a safe route for cyclists. A nearby digital "bikeometer" displays a live count of cyclists and scooters passing each day.
