Excessive Speeding (including POLICE) Open

463 N Hanover St Pottstown, PA 19464, USA - Pottstown

Heading north from the stop sign at 8th and Hanover people seem to think it's a drag race. In the span of a block I estimate people are topping 50mph in this residential area, including police. Almost every single house on both sides of this street has a child under the age of 10. The entire block feels trapped in their own house afraid to let their children out due to the high speed traffic. There have been several accidents on this block alone in just the last few months including a car colliding into a house. Please enforce the speed limit here and add a stop sign or speed bumps.

  if even the police are speeding then the speed limit is obviously set TOO LOW!! It should be set at the 80 percentile by law! Raise the speed limit here please! glad to hear your kids aren't in the street! Since they aren't then how is it relevant? Rural kids live next to 55 mph roads without anyone clamoring for lower speed limits and speed bumps! No sidewalks either! The Amish are riding bikes on the road while somehow you think your kids on the curb need special attention? Watch your kids and keep them off the street!

High Speeding Archived

Oakdale Ave Pottstown Pa - Pottstown

Alot of Drivers coming from Keim Street, and driving to Keim Street drive at an extremely high rate of speed (that is highly dangerous). I think someone is going to get hurt, and I am in hopes of leaning on the help of the township for assistance. Please help.

Loud and speeding motorcycles Archived

Evans St Pottstown, PA 19464, USA - Pottstown

The residents of the 400 block of NEvans St are being subjected to the extremely loud screaming and whining of 2 motorcycles that are either flying up the St doing well over and beyond 25 miles an hour or the constant revving up of said motorcycles in the alley behind Evans St This is an everyday occurrence. (*content removed for violent language) . There are many children on this block and hopefully no one will be run over when they fly up the street. Enough is enough and summer isn't even here yet.

  Wow! these comments were very entertaining....no one speeds on those blocks speeding is dangerous and there are too many POT HOLES in the areas that you guys are talking about... you should prob be worrying about the speeding cars! @#$%, I almost got run over twice while having my bike worked on in the alley. We all have rights! Just because you don't ride and don't understand why we motorcycle riders have loud pipes. Don't make us wrong... Loud pipes save lives.... It's people like you who talk on the phone while your driving, cut us off and Kills us..Thats the reason for the pipes... We have to put up with that, so you should be able to handle a little noise during the day time...I think that there are other issues here! As Rodney King would say "Can't We All Just Get Along"?

  Excessive noise is subjective. There is nothing the police are going to do about the pipe. There is no effective means to measure the sound pressure level in an outside area. There is too much ambient noise to establish a baseline noise floor. Even if there were to be a citation written, it would get tossed out in court. First reason being , the person who made the complaint would be called in as a witness and more than likely wouldn't show up. They want to hide behind their computer and stay anonymous. Second, all from what I stated above.
  
  Bottom line is ,,,, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

unsafe donation location Open

750 N Franklin St Pottstown, PA 19464, USA - Pottstown

I've seen a number of groups collecting money for causes at the corners of High and wilson near Turkey hill. Usually, they have cones out in the street and buckets to collect money. It just looks so unsafe and unwise to put your group in the middle of the streets,today there a few kids standing out there and for safety sake it looks so dangerous.

  Its impossible to take anyone seriously that posts such an over reaction. People have been "speeding" up and down that road since the day after they put up the speed limit sign and no one has been hurt or killed. The speed limit on that road is WAY too low.

  Children? What does that have to do with anything? If you're letting children play in the street someone should contact social services because that is parental neglect. The street is a dangerous place and not made for children to play in.
  
  If people are consistently speeding that means the speed limit is set too low. Statistical analysis along with several studies show that the speed limit should be at the 85th percentile to prevent accidents. My guess is they are not speeding at 40 mph but probably 30 to 35 mph and that is probably the more appropriate speed limit.

Speeding on Master St. between N. Hanover and Charlotte Sts. Open

Speeding up and down Master st. between N. Hanover and N. Charolette St's has only gotten worse since the THP development opened up. You can hear cars accelerate the moment they turn on Master St. Speed limit is only 25 but people definitely don't drive that slowly.

Please do something.

  Raising the speed limit isn't the answer. It's a small residential street. Set up speed traps, make the borough a few bucks, and make a police presence in a community where petty thefts and burglaries are increasing. Besides if you raise the speed limit one of those skate boarders is bound to be hit by a car. Instead of 40 it will 60mph people will be driving.

Crosswalk Light is NOT working Open

Rt. 100 And King St. - Pottstown

The crosswalk light and the intersection of rt. 100 and King St. is not working! This has been out since the bough put up the new traffic cameras. My wife walks to work everynight and has to run across this intersection because no one will fix this (it has been reported several time). I am afraid for her safety and the saftey of others. Even when it does work traffic is allowed to turn left while the pedstrian light is lit. Please fix this before someone gets hurt or killed! There are alot of people who have no choice but to cross this intersection.

Accident waiting to happen Open

200-228 Jefferson Ave Pottstown, PA 19464, USA - Pottstown

The intersection at N Hanover and Jefferson is horrible. If you are coming onto N Hanover from Jefferson, you cannot see!! There needs to be a stop sign on N Hanover in both directions. This will prevent an accident and also slow down the speeders. The speed limit is 25 on N Hanover. People do at least 45-50.

  I don't have a problem getting out of this intersection, what my problem is people trying to make a turn while on Jefferson and they are in the middle of the road and it makes it hard sometimes to turn onto Jefferson. I use it both ways. Maybe if there would be a no parking sign at the cemetary it would be easier.
  
  I'm sorry to tell you that the speed limit is 35mph until you reach the curve by the school then it changes to 25mph. If you are coming from the North End it's 35mph. There isn't a sign that says 35mph when you pass the curve going towards Oak Street.

Speeding Open

N Warren St - Pottstown

Students and staff at the high school use Warren St as a back entrance into the high school. They come flying down the road all the time and it's dangerous, especially to the students who use this street on their walk home and the children who live here. I'd like a speed bump or reduced speed limit sign.
