Wicomico County - Highway Pedestrian Safety Act

SB 367, the Wicomico County Highway Pedestrian Safety Act, prohibits people from standing in roadways, shoulders, median dividers, or intersections in Wicomico County that the county or a local municipality has officially designated as "inherently dangerous" (meaning posing a serious injury risk that cannot be avoided with ordinary care). The law directly affects pedestrians and drivers in Wicomico County by restricting standing in these high-risk areas. Key enforcement requires police to have proper traffic signs meeting state specifications installed before issuing citations, ensuring public notice of prohibited zones.
