A Message Regarding Motor Vehicles:

Friendly Reminder from the Pocomoke City Police Department
The Pocomoke City Police Department is asking all residents, visitors, and business patrons to please refrain from parking vehicles on sidewalks throughout the City of Pocomoke City.
We understand that parking can sometimes be difficult, particularly during busy times. However, sidewalks are not designated parking areas. Parking on them can obstruct pedestrian traffic, force pedestrians into the roadway, and create unnecessary safety hazards for children, elderly pedestrians, individuals with disabilities, and anyone simply trying to get around our community safely.
Additionally, vehicles parked on sidewalks can cause significant damage to the sidewalks and potentially to infrastructure located underneath them. These repairs can be costly and ultimately become a burden on the City and its taxpayers.
The Pocomoke City Police Department has made numerous efforts to educate and warn motorists about this issue. That warning period is coming to an end.
Beginning September 15, 2026, officers will begin issuing Maryland State Citations to the registered owners of vehicles found in violation of the applicable parking regulations.
This is your opportunity to avoid a citation: Please use designated parking areas and keep sidewalks clear.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation and ask that residents and visitors continue to operate their vehicles responsibly, legally, and with the safety of our entire community in mind.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
— Pocomoke City Police Department
Maryland Transportation Article § 21-1003(c) — Stopping, standing, or parking prohibited in specified places.
“A person may not stop, stand, or park a vehicle on a sidewalk.”

A Message From the City of Pocomoke:

DOWNTOWN POCOMOKE TRAFFIC & CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
There are several upcoming State Highway Administration projects planned for Downtown Pocomoke City. Here’s what residents, businesses, and visitors need to know.
DOWNTOWN DRAWBRIDGE CLOSURE – BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 8
The US 13 Business drawbridge over the Pocomoke River is expected to close to vehicle traffic beginning September 8 for approximately 60 days while the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration completes cleaning and painting of the bridge.
The project is expected to be completed around November 8, weather permitting.
During the closure, motorists will be detoured using MD 364 (Market Street), US 13 (Ocean Highway), MD 250A (Old Virginia Road), and US 13 Business (Market Street). Detour signage will be posted to assist motorists.
The drawbridge will remain open during the project, allowing marine traffic to continue along the Pocomoke River.
ADA COMPLIANCE SIDEWALK UPGRADES
SHA is also planning pedestrian accessibility improvements along US 13 Business between the Pocomoke River and Front Street.
The project will reconstruct existing sidewalk ramps and construct new ramps at several locations near Vine Street and Front Street. These improvements will bring pedestrian access along this section of US 13 Business into compliance with State and Federal accessibility requirements.
Residents, businesses, and visitors should anticipate temporary changes to traffic patterns and pedestrian access as these projects move forward.
Downtown Pocomoke City businesses will remain accessible throughout these improvements. We encourage everyone to continue visiting, shopping, dining, and supporting our downtown businesses during construction.
Thank you for your patience as these important infrastructure and accessibility improvements are completed.
