Speeders cut-through from State Rd Open

Motorists cut-through Old State Rd from State Rd and speed down as if it were State Rd. This is a residential street with a number of children and elderly residents.

  Lived on Old State Road for 10 years. Understand all the frustration. I wanted to throw a life size doll into the road as the speeders passed and freak them out. they don't even slow down for the stop sign at Golf View and Old State Road.

  Springfield needs 15mph backroads to have a chance at people doing 25mph. We can not change the speeders mentality, but we can change the base off which they make their decisions. 15mph backroads to keep the traffic on the 35-45mph main roads.

  I totally agree! The speeding has to stop and if the humps are deep enough, a plow would be fine. I'd rather see a plow get messed up than a child. At the very least they could put another stop sign on the block to make "cutting through" more inconvenient

Dangerous stretch of road Archived

100-108 Scenic Rd Springfield, PA 19064, USA - Springfield

Traveling down this small stretch is extremely dangerous and I have whitnessed several accidents over the past few years. 1-Scenic Road traffic goes from one way to two way without indication, I have whitnessed many near head on colissions and cars hitting the curb. 2-This road is windy and on a steep incline and going down hill people pick up alot of speed. This is especially dangerous as there are blind curves when traveling both directions approaching the intersections of Madison and Midland road. As traffic pulls off these roads there are many accidents and near accidents. 3-This also goes for the train station enterance around the curve at the bottom of Scenic Rd. 4-Aside from that, the traffic traveling up the hill tends to speed and rev their engines on the incline. Then they reach the top of the hill and speed around the curve at Scenic Hills Elementary School. The childern stand no chance against a car speeding around a blind curve. 5-Finally there are several driveways on these curves and they are a nightmare to pull in and out of, one second it is clear, next there is a car barreling around the curve. More signs would only be "white noise". IF THE SPEED LIMIT WAS REDUCED THEN ALL THESE PROBLEMS COULD BE ALLEVIATED, AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE MORE REACTION TIME FOR ALL THESE OBSTICLES ON THIS SMALL STRETCH OF ROAD. People should need to travel higher speeds through our backroads.

Speeding and ignoring stop sign Open

200-298 Claremont Rd Springfield, PA 19064, USA - Springfield

People speed up Claremont Road to Norwindin, there's a school here and children cross this street! This is not a highway! Some sort of stop sign should be put in on Claremont where the road bears off to the school to prevent speeders. Also, people totally ignore the stop sign at Norwindin and Claremont Rds., and speed right through.

  Mr. Springfield, if you live on Claremont Road and don't notice the speeding, then you are blind. And for the record, I'm not from Darby. Why do you find it necessary to respond this way when someone is concerned for the safety of our children? Do you realize there is an elem. school where children cross right on Claremont to get home from school? People go up this street driving 50 or 60mph, and BARELY stop at the sign on the corner (if they stop at all). After a child is killed, perhaps you will understand the need for a stop sign or speed bumps on this street. Hopefully it is not your child.

Ignoring Stop Sign Open

Scenic Rd Springfield, PA 19064, USA - Springfield

This stop sign is a "pause" sign, especially if the vehicle is making a right onto Rolling Road. Speeding cars from Scenic (where it is 25 mph zone) whip around the corner onto Rolling with little care for homeowners on the street, trying to go into or out of their driveways.

  The township needs to put in "rumble strips" to encourage drivers to slow down. It'll take one of our precious children to get hit by a speeding vehicle before something is done though...

Safety Hazard - Pickup/Dropoff St. Matt's Nursery School Open

400 Lynbrooke Rd Springfield, PA 19064, USA - Springfield

Cars line up in front of St. Matt's on Lynbrooke Rd and around the corner on Bennett to pick-up kids. They park & have cars turned off - this is not a drive through line. Cars block the view of other drivers as they come up to the Stop signs. They pull in front of you to do a u-b to turn around & get in the line correctly. It's a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Why can't they use the school parking lot - have teachers walk the kids around the block to the lot if construction is going on.

Abandoned Car Parked Dangerously Close to Stop Sign Open

Scenic Rd Springfield, PA 19064, USA - Springfield

There is a blue sedan that constantly insists on parking right at stop sign near the train station. It makes turning quite dangerous as the road is just barely wide enough for two cars. I've seen numerous close calls, and it's only a matter of time before some gets hit or the owners car is damaged by a speeding driver who has nowhere to go but into this carelessly parked car.

  Can't someone just call the cops & have the car ticketed? Parking regulations don't allow parking too close to a stop sign. I forget how close you're allowed but it sounds like this car is closer than the law allows.

  The car belongs to an old lady that parks there because it is close to the walkway to her door. She is old and has trouble getting around. She does not park too close to the stop sign and leaves pleanty of room. Ihave driven past that car every day for 18 years and never had a problem.

speeding traffic and large truck usage Open

We need to get the traffic on our road SLOWED DOWN! Large trucks should not be able to use our road as the sign at the entrance to our road indicates NO TRUCKS! We also need another street light at the corner of rolling and scenic as this corner is very dark at night and no one stops at the stop sign so is hard to cross the road as a pedestrian...

Speeding and heavy truck traffic on North Ave. Open

People speed on North Ave, a street heavily used by pedestrians traveling to the park or the train station. I am worried some one will get run over if nothing changes. A stop sign and speed bump at the entrance to the park would slow the traffic down. I also see frequent heavy truck traffic on this street that is posted " no trucks ".

HUNDREDS of Unchecked Parking Violations Open

Nowhere else I have lived have I seen so many blatant violations of parking safety... and nowhere else can you get away with it. Forget 25', in Scenic Hills, cars are parked NEXT to stop signs, facing the wrong direction. It's unsafe for children, pedestrians, and drivers, especially when there are TWO cars parked at a stop sign - one on each side of the street. Springfield... start enforcing parking rules!
