The traffic operations plan is designed to prohibit pedestrian traffic on MD 4, to designate pedestrian travel areas along Solomons Island Road and to limit issues for the post event traffic control.
The State Highway Administration (SHA) and Calvert County Highway Maintenance personnel will be blocking off restricted areas with traffic cones and/or designated traffic control devices to prohibit vehicular parking. These designated “no parking” areas will serve as pedestrian traffic accessways to and from the designated parking locations to the Fireworks viewing area. All pedestrian traffic is to adhere to sidewalks and/or designated pedestrian travel areas for obvious safety purposes.

On Saturday, December 26, 2020, at approximately 11:45 a.m., police responded to Patuxent Beach Road, in the area of the Thomas Johnson Bridge in California, for the possible impaired driver/traffic complaint.
Multiple 911 callers reported a blue/silver Dodge pickup truck ran motorists off the roadway while driving in the wrong travel lane. They reported he had also struck multiple roadway signs before being involved in a collision on Patuxent Beach Road near Patuxent Boulevard.
Officers arrived on the scene to find the pickup truck off the roadway with the operator unconscious and the vehicle in drive with the accelerator stuck, with the wheels turning in the dirt. Police broke the window to the vehicle to gain entry and turned off the vehicle. Emergency personnel at the scene administered at least three doses of Naloxone (Narcan) to the operator before he was revived.
