Hey, I remember that gravel section of Georgia Avenue extended on the way to Westminster very well. We used to really think we were out in the boonies back then. Now the whole way is just one giant suburb!

MD law does allow for mid-block crosswalks, by the way, whether a signal is installed or not. Look it up in the State Code. Far as I know, it's been that way near on to forever.
