• Traffic light planned for high-crash Pocomoke intersection (wboc.com) — A long-problematic intersection at Stockton Road and Route 13 in Pocomoke City is finally getting a permanent traffic light in spring 2026, after years of crashes and community concern. Police say most local wrecks happen there, and advocates warn traffic will only increase as a new Wawa project moves ahead, so drivers are urged to use extra caution until the signal is installed.
