LA PLATA, Md. – The Maryland State Police La Plata Barrack would like to inform the citizens of Charles County that changes have been made to the intersection of United States Route 301 and Turkey Hill Road.
The left turn lane from northbound 301 onto Turkey Hill Road is now a Stop Sign. Also, you can not proceed on red while making a left turn from southbound 301 onto Washington Avenue.
The State Highway Administration will be making additional changes in the future to this intersection. Changes were made to make the intersection safe for the motoring public. Please be safe while driving this holiday season.
its too bad getting into an accident isn’t an important enough reason to try not to have 1. I wonder why this happened? What was the incident that caused this to happen? Not a complaint.
The incident was most likely a State Police involvement, while using their back road entry method.
I don’t recall ever seeing an accident there since it was O.B.’s ESSO station.
Also it has become too convenient to go into LaPlata the old way, so now they will just add another traffic light on U.S. 301, and spend some of that free infrastructure money.
hmmm has anybody seen a turkey on turkey hill road?
Yes, up near Marshall’s Corner, but that was 30+ years ago.
“Also, you can not proceed on red while making a left turn from southbound 301 onto Washington Avenue.” WATCH US!
Most of the red lights for turning on 301 (North & South) in Waldorf blink so we don’t have to wait for your excessively long timed lights WHEN NOBODY IS COMING! When you try to protect people from everything, you make them good for nothing, just like all of you!
This large sign blocks the view for the people making the turn on Turkey Hill Rd. Now we have another road hazard. (This of course depends on the size and height of the vehicle for blocking the view.) Recommend removing the right added sign but leave the left sign.
