I believe DOT said the timings on MLK are screwed up - the devices aren't keeping time correctly or something and have completed screwed up traffic there for weeks, even after being reset.

Yes they have said that for some time. That's the issue. And they can add KEY highway to that as that has been a mess for a very long time.

Sunday there was ZERO foot/ped traffic yet the light timings were off. It took 23 minutes to drive 5 miles thru city....2 which were Hull to Light to Pratt No traffic.

It took me 21 minutes to get to Ellicott City Trader Joes in medium traffic (16 miles). Absolutely ridiculous. our infrastructure is just getting worse and we are becoming less of a charm city and more Harm city in more ways than crime.
