They better respond quickly with the way people drive, it’s only going to get worse
Several residents and one Board member failed to convince the Planning Board that the Breton Knolls development was going to make a bad traffic location even worse (Bull Road and Newtowne Neck Road). Then MDot allowed the location of a side new road for the development that is blind to drivers going north on Newtowne Neck Road (as I suspect the pickup was going) as well to drivers pulling out of the new road. Also the MDot approved approved turnoff lane for the new road going north is about 1/2 the width of a car; there is no extra lane extension going south. With a 45 speed limit, there are going to be accidents. Lowering the speed limit won’t change current driving habits. In 2021, within 800′ on Newtowne Neck Road, there were 10 accidents with most requiring medical help.
