Operations & Safety Head
Operations & Safety Pic As part of a pioneering process between event organizers and the District 6 Office of the Maryland State Highway Administration, the Polish Mountain Hill Climb will be operated on public roads following directives set out in 2007 Senate Emergency Bill 984, which was passed by the Maryland General Assembly and signed by Governor Martin O'Malley in April 2007.

This bill created new language for Maryland COMAR 21-1116. At this time, the final operations and safety plan is in process and will be finalized at the time of permit issuance. Here follows a general draft of needed road closures.

A final version of this plan, plus an event signage and safety operations plan will be provided on this page when it becomes available on or around the first of July, 2007
