## Sec. 23-145. Traffic signals

Prince George's County, Md., Code § 23-145 (2026)

When the Director determines that a subdivision proposed for development may generate sufficient traffic to warrant the installation of a traffic signal during the build out of the subdivision, the Director may require the owner to sign a covenant and post bond whereby the owner shall acknowledge responsibility to install a traffic signal(s) at the entrance road or driveway entrance to the subdivision. Said covenant shall be signed by the owner and recorded among the land records of the County. The covenant shall require the owner to bear all costs associated with design and installation of the traffic signal(s), the conveyance to the County of any associated rights-of-way necessary for the installation of the signals and geometric improvements to the intersection, and all design and construction costs associated with any modifications to the intersection where and when the signal is installed. The traffic signal and intersection improvements shall be made by the owner immediately upon notification by the Director that said installation is necessary. Failure by the owner to immediately perform the necessary improvements shall result in the work being performed by the Department, the cost of which shall be billed to the owner. Where said owner fails to pay any cost incurred by the County within thirty (30) days of the date of billing by the County, said nonpayment shall result in a tax lien being placed against the affected property. Upon certification of a tax lien to the Director of Finance by the Director, the amount of such lien shall be collected in the same manner as the County tax on real property.
