Worcester County Sheriff's Office

Proud to Protect, Ready to Serve

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is anticipating an influx of car enthusiasts for an unofficial event in Ocean City and northern Worcester County this weekend. We expect that those attending this event will arrive throughout the week. Those that are law abiding and respectful of others are welcome to enjoy all that Ocean City and Worcester County have to offer.

 

For those that are not respectful of others and drive in a reckless or aggressive manner; you can expect strict enforcement from members of this Office, along with allied agencies that are here to maintain law and order. There will be a focus on traffic enforcement to maintain the safety of pedestrians and other motorists along with the dispersing of large crowds.

 

Visitors and residents should expect alternate traffic patterns, traffic delays, increased law enforcement presence and reduced speeds to help reduce known issues experienced during previous events.

 

As a preventative measure, a Special Event Zone will be in effect in Ocean City and parts of Worcester County from September 22-27. This Special Event Zone includes Ocean City and the following areas of Worcester County:

 

Route 50 from Route 589 east into Ocean City

Route 90 from Route 589 east into Ocean City

Route 589 between Route 90 and Route 50

Route 611 between Airport Road and Route 50
