  • Hi and welcome again to this latest episode of La Plata Ward 4 Update Podcast.

    This is David Jenkins, La Plata Town Council member from Ward 4 and your host for this podcast and videos, now available on YouTube, and YouTube Music.
    This episode is about speed and traffic, and the continuing deaths on our highways.

    First, facts from a US perspective, then Maryland, and finally Charles County show the increased death rate and crashes across and country and here locally in Charles County.

    This is personal, with two brothers surviving bad crashes, and my recent close call almost hit by a car, in my neighborhood, walking my dog. The car ran a stop sign. I cycle and also walk, so this is a passion.

    I hope we can perhaps pay more attention when we drive, and have consideration for others.
