Apart from creating a congestion on Piney, I believe people are cutting through
the neighborhood to avoid the stop sign. Particularly at the end of school.. So
they are making the neighborhood dangerous for pedestrians as a result.
Takoma Avenue has become a thoroughfare as a result of this stop sign.

I’m not saying that I’m sure, as I was not representing seller/ buyers in
the transactions of the resent sales of the 2 new construction houses, that
sold over 1 mill on the west side of the street, just at that intersection,
but i would not be surprised if this stop sign is there because of that. It
happened shortly after those sales. I have seen this before. This is just a
thought again, not a fact.
Best,

There’s a new stop sign at the corner of Piney Branch and Ritchie. It is
causing massive traffic jams. One rush hour the jam was all the way back
through the light at Piney Branch and Philadelphia, and then up the hill
toward Eastern, crawling, idling and emitting.
I’ve been negotiating that intersection from every direction for 44 years.
It demands alertness but I’ve never seen the need for a stop sign.
Now, at times of traffic density, I can’t travel up Piney Branch at all.
The only benefit is to people driving on the very, very lightly travelled
Ritchie Ave. Many people are stuck on Piney Branch for the benefit of few
people on Ritchie.
The sign should be removed.
