Description

Every morning my commute from Hatfield to the PA Tpk. seems like a game of chicken. Because of the squeeze from 2 lanes (from the intersection of Allentown Rd. and Forty Foot Rd. up to Heebner Rd.) cars speed up the right-hand lane only to then abruptly turn into the left lane just before the light. The problem is that there is always stop and go traffic in the left lane leaving little to no room for those right lane speedsters. On many occasion I have seen cars go all the way to the light in the right-hand turn lane before cutting over in front of those cars in the left lane. This is a very dangerous stretch of roadway which could be made much less dangerous by simply widening the roadway just above Heebner Rd. on Forty Foot Rd. I believe that it is one lane due to gas lines which run through that area, however, if something can be done to widen that stretch of roadway it should be done.
