01What is wrong here
Vehicle parked right up against the crosswalk on the eastern edge of Howard University on 6th St NW. The DDOT parking sign on the pole and the painted curb marking on the roadway both authorize parking inside the 40-foot intersection setback required by 18 DCMR 2405.2(c). Compound failure -- the sign filing (26-00266093) addresses the pole; a separate Roadway Markings filing (26-00327595) addresses the curb marking. Howard's perimeter cannot keep getting fatal-class infrastructure.
Fatality context
Howard freshman Mohamed Samura, 18, was struck and killed on the Howard corridor in April 2024 by a speeding vehicle.
