Staff presented speed- and volume-study results from multi-day deployments across the town and summarized planned driver-feedback sign adjustments.

Mark Trailers, the presenter, reviewed data from several locations. A notable result on North King Street near Bridal showed an average speed just under the legal limit (approximately 24.9 mph), an 80th-percentile speed of 33 mph and a single maximum recorded speed of 60 mph over a 14-day deployment; total vehicle counts reported for that deployment were around 57,000 vehicles. Other neighborhood studies (Dockton Circle, Bradfield Drive, Mayfair Drive, Royal Street) showed lower average speeds and variable volumes.

Commissioners discussed adjusting the facing of several driver-feedback signs (the solar/radar message boards) on Catoctin Circle to capture traffic behavior in the opposite direction for comparative study. Staff said the system has about 30 active sign bases, and many bases are portable; rotating bases is a cost-effective approach to collect direction-specific data without buying new signs.

The commission voted to move one active sign base from Westpark Country Club Drive to a Catoctin location to help capture speeds where residents reported issues. In addition to reorienting sign facings, commissioners asked staff to prioritize major corridors for phased reviews and to supply cleaned data and a sign-base inventory.

"We can always move it back," a commissioner said during the motion to relocate the sign; the motion passed by voice vote. Staff committed to supplying cleaned spreadsheets and directional data to support future, targeted deployments.
