Remember, MD-175 is a State road. Even if you mentioned it on Tell HoCo, it's possible HoCo personnel may have missed it due to being State property. I've seen them forward the requests to the State in that case. Maybe try again.

I'm also not sure where 'Exit 20' would be. To the best of my knowledge there's no exit numbers on any of the exits off 175. They're all by intersecting street names.

I revised my comment to include Route 29.

I think I’m just in shock it’s been their for 3 years. Big green direction sign laying next to the guardrail/wake-up strips. I’m upset the mowers just mowed around it for 3 years. Nobody cares the state tax money sign has a floor point of view.

Many of those areas that are being mowed are handled not by contractors. They've got plenty of work on their hands and perhaps even mentioned it to a supervisor, but who knows if it was ever reported to the State.

My best recommendation, as you're familiar with the downed sign and it's location, is to contact the MDOT SHA 301-513-7300. I've called them in the past regarding other matters and they're generally responsive to issues.

I actually found the sign on Google Maps.

If you follow 29N, right before Exit 20, you can see the sign from the June 2019 images, but as you progress on the off-ramp, you can see in the Sept. 2022 image the sign is on the ground.

I called the MDOT SHA number I mentioned below, was transferred to the division that handles Howard County. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and I mentioned the downed sign. They'll look into getting the issue addressed.

Lets see how long before it's back up. It's hard to say if it's a redundant sign, as a few hundred feet down the ramp there's another sign, but the downed one included the blue informational signs that the other doesn't have.

I am sorry I should of called. Things get taken care of faster over a phone call than an angry email :( Thanks for taking time out your day.
