Regulaciones para peatones en autopistas de acceso controlado en Maryland

Explicación Simple

En Maryland, no puedes caminar ni estar en las autopistas donde solo deben ir coches. Esto incluye las rampas y caminos que llevan a estas autopistas. Es una regla para mantener a las personas seguras.

Es como si estuvieras en una pista de carreras: solo los coches pueden estar ahí y no es seguro que los peatones caminen entre ellos.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan va manejando por una autopista en Maryland y ve a alguien caminando en la orilla. Esto es muy peligroso, porque los coches van muy rápido. Si esa persona estuviera en un lugar donde no deberían estar, podría causar un accidente.
