Mastering the Shore: A Guide to Honda Sensing® for Easton Drivers
Driving on the Eastern Shore presents unique challenges. From the high-speed rush of summer traffic on Route 50 to the narrow, pedestrian-heavy streets of Historic Downtown Easton, your vehicle needs to be as alert as you are. That is where Honda Sensing® comes in.
Available across the 2025 and 2026 Honda lineup, this suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies is designed to act as a second set of eyes. Whether you are behind the wheel of a 2025 Civic or a 2026 CR-V, Honda Sensing® is your co-pilot for navigating the Ocean Gateway and beyond.
The Core Features of Honda Sensing®
Standard on nearly every 2025 and 2026 model at Hertrich Honda of Easton, this technology uses a combination of radar and camera sensors to monitor your surroundings.
1. Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
This is your primary defense against "fender benders" at busy intersections like Goldsborough Street and US-50. If the system detects an unavoidable frontal collision, it can automatically apply brake pressure to help mitigate impact.
2. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
If you commute from Easton to Annapolis, you know the frustration of stop-and-go traffic. ACC maintains a set following interval behind detected vehicles. In 2026 models like the CR-V and Accord, the Low-Speed Follow feature can even bring your Honda to a complete stop and resume when traffic moves again.
3. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Long stretches of Route 331 or Route 322 can lead to driver fatigue. LKAS subtly adjusts your steering to help keep you centered in your lane, providing a more relaxed driving experience on the way to St. Michaels.
4. Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
Designed for the rural roads of Talbot County, RDM can determine if you cross over detected lane lines without signaling and can provide steering assistance or braking to keep you from leaving the roadway entirely.

Why Honda Sensing Matters for Easton, MD
Easton drivers face specific environmental factors where these technologies truly shine:
- Seasonal Traffic: As travelers head toward Ocean City, Route 50 becomes a corridor of unpredictable braking. ACC makes these high-volume days significantly safer.
- Wildlife Awareness: In more rural areas near Oxford or Tilghman Island, deer crossings are common. CMBS can provide that extra fraction of a second needed to avoid a collision.
- Tight Parking: Our 2026 models with Cross Traffic Monitor make backing out of parking spots on Harrison Street a breeze by alerting you to vehicles approaching from either side.
