SHA Social Media Community Guidelines

While Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (SHA) accounts on social networks are open forums, they are also family-friendly online communities, so please keep the language in your messages clean.

SHA also asks that you follow our community posting guidelines.

Community Guidelines

  • No graphic, obscene, explicit or racial comments or submissions. No comments that are abusive, hateful or intended to defame anyone or any organization.
  • No solicitations or advertisements. No promotions or endorsements of any financial, commercial or non-governmental agency.
  • No comments or photos that suggest or encourage illegal activity.
  • No documents of any kind should be posted on this page.
  • No blatantly antagonistic behavior toward other community members.

Imagery shared with any SHA social media accounts must be owned by the user. It's forbidden to use copyrighted or trademarked images or graphics not owned by the user.

You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your posts and comments, your username and any information that you provide.​

Violators of these Community Guidelines will have their posts and comments removed. They may also be banned from SHA’s ac​counts on social networks.
