New Signal for the Newest New Cut

Last night at the county council meeting, Councilperson Courtney Watson announced that the State Highway Administration had approved a new traffic signal for the intersection of the new alignment of New Cut Road and Montgomery Road (Route 103) in Ellicott City.

New Cut Road was realigned with the construction of the new Glen Mar United Methodist church. The old New Cut Road has been renamed Baugher Farm Road and is now restricted to right turns only from Route 103.

The new signal is expected to operational next spring.

While many will applaud this new traffic control device there will undoubtedly be some grousing about yet another traffic light on Montgomery Road.
