Good morning and happy !

This morning I was browsing through Transportation Article looking for a statute for today's question, as I typically do. What I landed on isn't the most exciting but it is indeed interesting, in my opinion.

Did you know that Maryland defines what a "parking lot" is? They have definitions for all types of things in the Transportation Article (except for that one thing you need defined for something specific and they never have it).

In the Transportation Article, a "parking lot" means a privately owned facility consisting of ______ or more spaces for motor vehicle parking.

Comment below to fill in the blank!

Good luck and drive safely.

UPDATE (8/28/2026 12:46 p.m.): Thank you for all your assistance. This individual has been identified.

Public Assistance Needed:

We're looking to identify and speak with the subject shown below. On August 27th, 2026, at approximately 11:45 AM, this subject entered a downtown business. While in that business, it appears the thought of payment must have slipped her mind after she slipped one item into her brown gift bag and then slipped another item onto her right wrist. Ultimately, the subject left the business without paying for or returning the items.

If you have any information on this subject, please contact the Berlin Police Department at 410-641-1333.

Good Morning and happy !

We've already talked about school starting soon, it's just around the corner! So, we're going to stay on the topic of school-related traffic trivia.

You have all seen a school crossing guard before. They're out assisting students, motorists, and school employees every day, making sure everyone gets to where they need to go safely. So, first off, thank you to all our school crossing guards.

Now onto the reason you're all here. True or False: you are not allowed to willfully disobey a lawful direction given by a school crossing guard?

Good luck and drive safely!
