State Highway Administration - Maryland Route 410 (East-West Highway) Pedestrian Safety Action Plan - Expansion

HB 1130 requires the State Highway Administration to expand the existing Maryland Route 410 (East-West Highway) Pedestrian Safety Action Plan to include the segment from Queens Chapel Road east to U.S. Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in Prince George's County. This directly affects pedestrians, drivers, and transit users traveling along this corridor, which has experienced serious safety issues including fatal crashes and lacks continuous pedestrian infrastructure. The bill mandates adding this specific highway segment to the current project scope, ensuring continuous safety improvements like sidewalks and crossings along the entire corridor. The expansion aims to align with Vision Zero safety principles and address gaps in the existing plan that left safety measures incomplete. The change takes effect July 1, 2026.
