  Apparently, PennDOT chooses not to fix this issue, maybe because it is a signal timing issue, and not something where 6 workers can mill about on-site collecting a paycheck.

  This intersection is once again atrocious with the backup of traffic beyond the exit ramp of 30 and onto the shoulder of the bypass. Very dangerous. Perhaps it is just the timing, but it is definitely off right now. Really needs to be fixed. Not to mention how Rt. 100 southbound can be reduced to one lane for over 6 months with no construction even starting and materials just sitting on the side of the road. Great way to slow down a very busy road not to a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Traffic backs up on Bypass Open

Rt 100 Exit Off 30 Bypass Exton, Pennsylvania - Exton

I guess it is going to take someone getting killed on the Bypass...before someone figures out a better timing of light to get on Rt 100 from the 30 Bypass

Poor traffic light timing/planning Open

637-699 Waterloo Blvd Exton, PA 19341, USA - Exton

"New" traffic light at Whitford and Waterloo causes traffic to back up on to Bus. 30, causing gridlock on 30. This did not happen when the intersection was controlled only by a stop sign for Waterloo. Lots of $$ spent for more traffic hazards!

  It may cause a "gridlock" but if u know a second way home, take it, its going to alieviate the traffic a little bit. wether its a stop sign or traffic light it was going to happen its inevitably more people move out this way and drive on the road. Look at the population for thise section of chester county over the last 5 years it boomed. as i said find a alternate route home it may be quicker safer and less agravating

Need "Left Turn On Green" here Archived

W Lincoln Hwy Exton, PA 19341, USA - Exton

Eastbound turns into Acme have extremely long wait for turn arrow, even though there is no westbound traffic on Rt. 30. Visibility is clear; How about having a Left Turn on GREEN here.

  back before the bypass was put in there was no way that they would allow you to make that turn but since then and the way the economy is Penndot (since its a state road and they are responsable for all traffic patterns) will not spend money to run a observation on the area to change a few words. I do not understand why it wasnt done earlier but still busy area during rush hours, weekends, and holidays dont think it will get changed soon if ever

Traffic lights not synchronized Open

Route 100 North At Main Street Shopping Center - Exton

Westbound traffic exiting Rt 30 Bypass at Exton onto Rt 100 North cannot make right turn onto Rt 100 due to backup of cars at next light. Synchronize the two lights so that Rt 100 North traffic is not backed up through the intersection when the Rt 30 exit traffic gets green to merge onto Rt 100.

  ok look the reason that ramp light is not going to get the no turn on red sign removed is because people do blast underneath the bypass in that far right lane so PENNDOT doesnt want to be responsable for it. now if you dont like it, take an alternative route im sorry to say that but thats what it is

  Don't tell people to take an alternate route. There is plenty of visibility at the intersection so that we can proceed onto rt 100 without delay with a right turn on red. If Penndot cannot fix the traffic lights, then take down the no turn on red sign. We are fed up with no solution to this problem!

  @losing patience u go there and turn when A its rush Hour or the Fire Co there trips the light at 100 and bartlet to go north on 100 and u turn and get hit hard. Yea i know there s visibility but there is a reason penndot has that sign and like i said people use that far lane closest to the ramps as a race way, if you dont want to sit there then ignore the sign and have police come after or u get hit hard, or second option again is find a 2nd route. either way its up to the state and its not an issue to them they are nt gooing to do anything about it.

  Amen to the idea of better synchronization of these lights. Actually, all of the lights on this section of Rte 100 should be synchronized - from just south of the Rte 30 bypass up to the Exton Mall area.

Unsafe walkway for pedestrians in tunnel Archived

Whitford Road And Spackman Lane - Exton

Passengers leaving westbound SETPA trains have to walk in the roadway to get to the parking lots on the other side of the tracks. The lights controlling the traffic are sometimes out of sync and too many drivers run the red lights and come dangerously close to the pedestrians walking in the tunnel. Someone is going to get hurt.

  The tunnel on Whitford Rd at the Septa station is very dangerous. Cars go through the red light when pedestrians are walking through the tunnel to get to the parking lot on the south side. I agree cars view the light as a caution signal. Moving the light to Spackman and Whitford would help with the safety of the pedestrians and also help getting out of the Septa parking lot onto Whitford Rd. West Whiteland police should be more of a presence and start ticketing the indiviuals who run the red light. The increase in traffic on Whitford Rd going both north and south has increased to almost a solid line of cars between 5 and 6 pm during the work week.

  I do not think moving the light will help. What about the other side of the tunnel? There's no place to "move" that traffic light to make walking through the tunnel any safer. The situation is inherently dangerous no matter where the lights are placed. Either a pedestrian tunnel should be built, like at Malvern, or concrete barrier walls should be placed in the road under tunnel, separating pedestrians from the cars. Yes, it will make the roadway one lane for traffic. There is another location like that - Boot Road under the train tracks going towards Quarry Lane, so it is feasible.

  The lights sometimes stop traffic when there are NO pedestrians at all. These lights need to be checked and adjusted. Drivers can get frustrated stopping for nobody, although the safety of pedestrians is more important.

  No sense in keeping this open as fixing this would involve a lot of money. I'm assuming SOMEONE in a position to review this actually was made aware of the problem.

Traffic Light Open

S Pottstown Pike Exton, PA - Exton

When you are coming of the 30 Bypass-W onto Rte 100-N, you finally get the green light, but then the next light is red and you have nowhere to go. The lights need to be timed better.

  This issue has been going on for over a year. Penndot and West whiteland just ignore our complaints. It was a stupid road design to begin with. They should fire the engineer who thought this would work.

The light at Bartlett Ave and Rt 100 in Exton has the worst timing. Open

100 Bartlett Ave Exton, PA 19341, USA - Exton

The left turn light at Bartlett Ave and Rt 100 (traveling S) as well as the light in general has terrible timing and causes continous delays and traffic back ups.

  This issue has not been fixed. In fact during the end of school the traffic back up on Bartlett is horrible. I have lived in this area all my life and trying to get anywhere in Exton will take you 30 or more minutes due to the lights and the timing of those lights. Come on West Whiteland Township get your act together and fix something.

traffic lights completly out of touch Open

157-199 Pennsylvania 100 Exton, PA 19341, USA - Exton

Route 100 through the shopping corridor of exton is terrible. There is absolutly no traffic flow whatsoever! You get through one light only to immediatly stop at the next one to then accelerate all over again! think of the gas watsted everyday by every motorist who travels this path.

  I can't believe the following hasn't been fixed in the several years since the Main Street Center opened:
  
  Northbound Rt 100 traffic blocks the Rt 30 West bypass off-ramp, so that only the far right lane on northbound Rt 100 is open. Of course, most drivers coming off 30 Bypass West who turn right (north) onto 100 won't make use of this right lane, probably because they want to turn left soon. So, they just advance a few feet towards their center lane, blocking the remaining cars on the off-ramp.
  
  Stop-gap solution, since PennDOT seems helpless to figure out how to re-time the lights: FILL IN THE AVAILABLE SPACE IN ALL OPEN LANES, THEN WORRY ABOUT MOVING OVER TO THE LEFT DURING THE NEXT 100 YARDS BEFORE YOU GET TO COMMERCE BLVD! DON'T INSIST ON ENTERING YOUR DESIRED LANE RIGHT OFF THE RAMP (especially if it's already blocked by cars). THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

  I travel up and down Rt 100 8-10 times a day and I completely agree that all the stop lights that are not in sync are extremely frustrating... even more frustrated when you have a 4 month old in the car!!!

  Traffic circles on rt 100????? the amount of truck traffic and stuff like that would be such a smart idea plus 90% of the people in exton area would still go in it and cause some accidents that would leave you to sit in traffic longer. SO rt 100 stays the way it is god forbid there is a bad accident they can use one lane on the opposite side to run traffic. The roadway has been like this sinced main street opened, your seeclick fix is not going to have any push for something that will never change. Also ive only ever seen this work once and it was to try and get tall shrubs cut so someone could see around the corner and it was only taken care of after a township codes guy saw it and ordered that stuff to be cut back and that was 2 years ago in west bradford

Need sign warning oncoming traffic when road floods

  honestly im not saying this to sound bigheaded but thats not going to happen. it could flood with a the tinest measurable rain fall or could wait til we have 7 inches of rain its not predictable unless someone goes down there every couple days or other week to check the water level. but that means the state county and or west whiteland need to pay someone or outside agency to look at it. and before i say this i think whitford road is a state road, there wont be a sign there because the states says oh thtats going to cost a little bit where not spedning that. And that area doesnt flood very often and i do know this because ive been an area firefighter for almost three years now and have only ever heard that spot be called in for flooding and have seen it closed about 4times.
