St. Mary’s Collecting Data on Roadways

St. Mary’s County government is conducting a countywide road asset inventory project in January and February to capture video imagery of county-owned and maintained road signs and other roadway-related assets.

As part of the effort, a county-marked vehicle equipped with a roof-mounted camera will be driving all state- and county-owned and maintained roads throughout St. Mary’s.

The project is intended for infrastructure inventory and planning purposes. No enforcement activities are associated with this effort, and the video capture will focus on roadway and right of way assets.

Private roads, identified by blue road signs, will not be included in the project and will not be driven as part of the inventory.

Residents might see a county vehicle traveling slowly or making brief stops along roadways while data is collected. County officials appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during the process.

Call Bob Kelly, county chief information officer, at 301-475-4200, ext. 1013 for more information.
