 I live in a residential community, Parkwood, in Bethesda 20814.

We have a listserv where neighbors chat about various topics. Recently a few people have expressed their perception that Parkwood Drive (the main road to enter and exit this community) ought to have a speed camera installed.

 Another neighbor made the observation that due to the finite number of these traffic camera devices available to MoCo there may need to be a traffic study done first. And based on that if the number of cars driving on this residential county road do not reach a threshold high enough number a camera install would not be financially justified.

Can you please address these issues:

1. Is a traffic study always done first?

2. has there been a traffic study done on Parkwood Drive (that spans a part of Bethesda and a part of Kensington MD?

3. What is the volume number of cars that would need to be regularly traveling Parkwood Drive to justify the expense of a speed camera placement?

4. Are the type of camera that would be installed the type that by law require a daily calibration inspection physically at camera site or is that done remotely, the calibration test/inspection?

I have lived in this community over two decades and I drive on Parkwood Drive a lot. In my observation I have not witnessed anyone speeding on this road. It is a narrow, two lane road with a lot of SUVs parked at the curbs on both sides. Most people drive very cautiously as to not sideswipe the parked vehicles parked at the curb and to avoid hitting a sideview mirror sticking out from the trucks or SUVs. 

 Thanks

Man in my neighborhood told me that because of the Iran war stores are out or soon to be out of motor oil for an oil change. Has anyone seen this absence? Thanks

I went to a PCP, new Dr for me, in Sept 2025 for the Annual Wellness visit allowed on Medicare. She is a woman Dr. I am 75 and in good health. I have a BF who is 8 yrs younger. We tried to have vaginal sex around this time, 9/25, and it was painful and I bled a little afterwards. I told him it was painful and he removed his penis. I mentioned this to PCP and she recommended this vaginal cream ( 1 1/2 oz tube) I have used about two and a half tubes so far, using it 1-2 times a week. Due to the pain and bleeding from our last vaginal sex I have been hesitant to have another try at vaginal sex. Questions: What have other heterosexual woman here learned from using this cream? The BF has a much larger sexual drive than I do. I have never had pain before having sex with him. He has a average size penis-only saying that b/c he is not Huge nor am I in any way not happy with his size. I used to have a healthy happy normal sex drive and all prior relationships the sex aspect was never any 'issue' . We get naked and I do oral sex on him and he likes that. Hope women here can share their opinion on moving onto another vaginal sex try or experience w/ effectiveness of this Estradiol cream. Thanks
