1. Do I live on a private road, a county road or a state highway?

This can be confusing, particularly few new residents. The County uses a color-code system to distinguish between public and private roads. Public road signs are white letters on a green background. Private road signs are white letters on a blue background. If you don’t see a sign, give us a call and we’ll try to answer your question.

The following roads are Maryland State Highways.

2. How do I report a pothole or wash-out?

Submit a County Service Request to report a pothole or wash out.

3. It has snowed. When will the county plow my road?

We have an established plan for plowing roads. Naturally, during extreme weather it will take us longer to complete a cycle of snow removal. There are also times when we will pull equipment off the roads for safety reasons.
