[quote=Anonymous]PSA--- The State Highway Administration (SHA) has just reduced the speed limit on River Road to 35 MPH from the Beltway to the DC line (previously, the speed limit was 45 MPH for a 2.5+ mile strip of River Road from the Beltway to near Springfield Drive). More needs to be done to improve safety near the back entrance to Whitman HS, and we’re currently awaiting the scheduling of yet another community meeting with SHA to discuss alternatives for the intersection with Braeburn Parkway and crosswalk about 500 feet east of the intersection.

Please note that this change was made to improve safety on River Road, especially at the back entrance to the Whitman campus.  The community remains engaged with the State Highway Administration, advocating for additional improvements to the intersection with Braeburn Parkway and the pedestrian crossing approximated 500 feet east of the intersection.

Also note that the new speed limit has been posted, but there is no signage calling people’s attention to the change (not even flags on the new speed limit signs).  Tickets are already being issued.  [/quote]
