A new road marking is being introduced in parts of the U.S.—a thin blue line placed between the yellow center lines. Already visible on roads in Maryland, this blue line serves as a tribute to police officers, honoring their dedication to protecting communities.

In Ocean City, the blue line has been added along 65th Street, leading directly to the police department. Mayor Rick Sheehan voiced his support for the initiative, highlighting the community’s reliance on its police force.

Sheehan underscored the critical role officers play, especially in a beach town like Ocean City, where maintaining safety and order is essential. This simple but meaningful gesture is a way for the town to show appreciation for those who serve.
