(Annapolis) -- “The Maryland Department of Transportation has finally recognized the dire need for a traffic signal at the US 113 MD 12 intersection. Snow Hill residents and travelers can now rest assure that their travels through that area will be much safer. ” stated Delegate Mike McDermott (R-Worcester & Wicomico Counties).
Delegate McDermott received a letter today from the Maryland Department of Transportation stating its plans of installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Us 113 and MD 12 by mid-summer. This letter was in response to Delegate McDermott’s letter urging the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation to take action to remedy the large amount of car accidents occurring at the intersection.
As Delegate McDermott explained in his letter, “For countless years, the citizens of Worcester County and the travelers passing through our area have dealt with the treacherous two lane sections of US Rt. 113. Perhaps the worst area of this terrible section of the highway is located at the intersection of Rt. 12 in Snow Hill. The fatalities and serious injury accidents are astounding.”

Thanks to all who made this possible. It has been a long time coming.
Waste of money. That intersection is on a straight away on both sides. You can see more than 1/2 mile. If people paid attention they wouldn't have to worry about this intersection. Guess it just shows the level of intelligence of people in this area.
Thank you Del. McDermott and anyone else that made this possible.
9:27, i agree with you to a point. it's hard to understand the why's, but the facts are facts. many people have been killed at this intersection. hopefully this new light will help. they need to install "loud" rumble strips on approach.
