SALISBURY, Md. - The City of Salisbury is looking at allocating funding for a feasibility study for a roundabout at a busy intersection.
Its where Mount Hermon Road, Long Avenue, Truitt Street, East Williams Street and East Main Street all intersect at one central location.
Andrew Quillen has worked near the intersection for more than a decade. He's a fan of roundabouts and is on board with the plan.
"I think they're good. There's one in Georgetown that I've used for years, there at the Circle. I don't know that I've ever seen an accident there," he said.
Salisbury is no stranger to roundabouts. One at Riverside Drive opened to drivers back in 2020.
Antonio Sanabria says he does not see the need of putting in another roundabout.
"I would rather it stay like that I think its much easier but then again I've lived here my whole life so I'm used to it," he said.
Quillen says he sees multiple accidents at the intersection each year. He's hopeful a roundabout would alleviate some of the issues.
"Usually a college kid making the wrong turn or going when they think they have the right of way," he said.
Sanabria says it comes down to pedestrians and drivers to make the intersection safe.
"The kids know when to cross the road and when not to and if we all follow what we're supposed to be doing we shouldn't have a problem," he said.
The feasibility study would cost $50,000. The City would fund about $22,000 while the remaining $28,000 would come from the federal government.
