The State of Maryland is taking steps to help make crossing busy streets a little bit safer.
The state's first Pedestrian Safety signals were unveiled in Montgomery County Monday morning.
The county now has five new pedestrian signals with timers that count down the amount of time left to cross the street.
The signals were installed Monday at the intersections of Fenton Street and Wayne Avenue in Silver Spring; Colesville Road and Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring; Georgia Avenue and Reedie Drive in Wheaton; Arcola Avenue and Lamberton Drive in Wheaton; and Montgomery and Wisconsin Avenues in Bethesda.
As part of the unveiling ceremony today, the Wheaton Urban District's "Clean and Safe Team" rewarded Wheaton-area pedestrians who crossed the street safely and legally with certificates for free doughnuts.
