City of Salisbury to restore traffic flow on Carroll Street following 2022 re-design

SALISBURY, Md. – City of Salisbury officials have announced it will restore the traffic flow on Carroll Street from Circle Avenue to Route 13 after reevaluating its 2022 design.

Mayor Randy Taylor says that months of consideration and careful planning went into the decision, saying, “More than two years of practical experience and observation have shown the extra-wide bike paths installed in 2022 are underutilized, confuse drivers, and impede traffic flow. The bike paths will remain, but they won’t be as dominant as in the prior design. This will allow traffic to flow better while offering safety and accessibility to both cyclists and pedestrians.”

We’re told there will be two lanes in each direction for vehicles, with arrows for guidance. Two bike lanes will remain, one for eastbound cyclists and one for westbound cyclists, with separation from vehicular traffic.

Residents and motorists should expect minor disruptions during the transition this spring.
