Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

• Existing number of through travel lanes • Future (ultimate) number of through travel lanes • Divided or undivided road • Presence of a transitway (none, existing or future) • Master Planned Interchanges

Montgomery County, Maryland implements the plan through right-of-way needs defined as minimum rights-of-way, based on minimum cross-section design requirements in Chapter 49 of the Montgomery County Code of Regulations (COMCOR) and COMCOR 49.28.01 – Context Sensitive Design Standards. Target speeds are defined in the regulation (COMCOR 49.28.01, Standard 020.01) as “the speed at which vehicles should operate on a thoroughfare in a specific context, consistent with the level of multimodal activity generated by adjacent land uses, to provide mobility for motor vehicles and a safe environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.” A Transitway and Bicycle-Pedestrian Priority Areas Mapbook are provided in Technical Appendix B of the document. Transit components of the plan are mapped as shown in Figure 34 and include: • Existing and proposed transitways • Existing and proposed transit mode (bus rapid transit and light rail transit) • Locations of all Metrorail and MARC rail stations (reference only) • Location of Bicycle-Pedestrian Policy Areas (as approved by the Montgomery County Council) (Figure 35).
