You're absolutely right the light takes a long time - and so do all of the traffic lights along Chester Pike. Chester Pike is a PA State controlled highway and police departments all along Chester Pike from Eddystone to Glenolden are now having to contend with faster traffic on Rt 13 because of the traffic light patterns established by PennDot.
The absolute fact is Ridley Park Borough and RP's Police department have their hands tied when it comes to timing and adjusting the timing of any light on a state highway. If the Borough knowingly readjusts the timing and there's a collision, then the liability is 100% on the Borough's shoulders for ignoring the times on the traffic light permit issued by PennDot.
Without writing a book on the subject, if the traffic light were go out of whack at Hinckson and Chester Pike, when it was restored, the light-timing would have to be reset to the original permit times in order to comply with PennDot's determination of the traffic pattern at "that intersection" on "their highway." The idea, as I'm told, is to keep traffic flowing on the state highways to conserve gasoline - well it's frustrating to the residents and the Ridley Park Police.
PennDot is altering the face of Rt 13 (Chester Pike), removing parking spots, and setting the timing on every traffic light along Chester Pike from Chester to Darby. I'd offer your complaints need to go higher, to the PA State level and maybe you'd be heard, since there is absolutely nothing RP or RPPD can do about your complaint other then listen and be sympathetic like the rest of us stuck along Chester Pike.

This has not changed. The red light is still ridiculously long and the "no turn on red sign" is still there. The township obviously will not change this so when I can, I take another route. This takes me longer to get where I need to be and is frustrating... Not even sure why I bothered to post this and actually expect to have it fixed? With the township taxes we all pay that basically bankrupt everyone, you would think we could at least turn on red so we can get to work on time..
