Stop speeding School buses and cars (parents) of the kids down Shadeland ave. Open

Shadeland Ave - Drexel Hill

One day a DHMS student is going to get killed, why should we wait for that to happen. When we can stop it with more police looking out for them drivers befor school and after. More so after school. just looking out for the students somebody has to.

  I totally agree! The kids dart out and think it's funny. No one will be laughing when a kid gets hurt. They were darting out between parked cars just 30 ft ahead of me the other day. I go very slow because I see this happen every day and expect it. How about those who don't?

Abandon Vehicle Keeps showing up in Drexel Hill Open

700-798 Belfield Ave Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Drexel Hill

This is like the third spotting of this vehicle with abandoned tags.
The inspection and most likely the registration expired back in April of 2011. They just keep moving car to different parts of the neighborhood. How many abandoned stickers does it take to get a car impounded? This safety hazard has been on the road long enough

speeding Open

700-798 Shadeland Ave Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Drexel Hill

speed limit is 15. average speed is 35+ that includes school buses. in the 15yrs i have been here two of my personal vehicles have been totaled parked out front numerous broken mirrors and last month my parked vehicle was hit causing $5000 in damage. everyone seems to think if they floor it from the stop sign they can make the green light at state rd.impossible to do but they try. its getting worse

  It is getting exponentially worse in just the short amount of time we have lived on the block. The drivers are ridiculous, using the street as a cut through, and barely stop at the stop signs at all. Getting out of my drive way has become horrible, and I've nearly been hit by cars that went through the stop signs many times. It needs to change.

  If you have a driveway park in the driveway. Most of the problem solved. Yes people are speeding, and it's not always possible to park in the driveway. As when company is over, but I've seen so many empty driveways where the owners are parked in the street. That makes no sense to me!

  By the way, I completely agree about the stop sign only being used as a "suggestion". Now if we can only get the students to stop playing chicken with the cars and running out into the street between the parked cars. The school bus drivers are the worst.

Speeding along school lane needs to stop. No enforcement of this stop sign means that drivers will continue to think it's okay to not come to a complete stop at this stop sign, risking my life, and that of others.

Speeding Open

600-698 Turner Ave Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Drexel Hill

People race up and down Turner Ave, especially in the morning. The speed limit is 15 mph, and people routinely go as fast as 35 mph. Parking should be permitted on both sides of the street to slow traffic, or the police should periodically sit in the middle of the block and enforce the speed limit.

this is a straight way of 4 blocks without a stop sign or a stop light. cars, trucks, police a fire trucks go WAY too fast! the speed limit is supposed to be 35pmh. police will sometimes sit on the corner of mansfield ave. but not often enough. i feel, and so does that whole area of mansfield ave. and marshall rd. residents, that a stop sign would make the world of difference. someone is going to be killed!

Speeding/Ignoring Stop signs Open

371 Upland Way Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Drexel Hill

In a neighborhood with dozens of children, on a street with a 15 mph speed limit, many drivers use Upland Way in Drexel Hill as a speedway between Garrett Rd and Marshal Ave. Not only do they drive excessively fast but also ignore the three-way stop sign. I have seen other communities use a "speed hump" (not speed-bump) to curtail this activity.

Street Light Archived

5250-5298 Reservation Rd Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Drexel Hill

The street lights on this block continue to go out or go dim. One of the lights it has been known for 10 years has a short. The township passes the buck to PECO. PECO tags the pole and doesn't return for months at a time. This is a major safety issue given the large polpulation of foxes, skunks and other varmints germane to this wooded area. It is also a well traveled cut through street with many cars parked at the curb.

The house at 1132 Harding Drive has water gushing out onto the public sidewal... Archived

1101-1199 Harding Dr Drexel Hill, PA 19026, USA - Upper Darby

It looks like a sump pump is improperly draining onto the public sidewalk which freezes and is impossible to see in the dark. The homeowners have placed large sawhorses blocking off the sidewalk which presents a second danger and is not a fix for the problem. Hillcrest Elementary is a half a block away and I would not blame any parent who may consider a lawsuit if their child gets hurt.

Motorcycle noise Archived

Bridge St Between James & Dennison Drexel Hill, PA - Drexel Hill

On this 100 block between two stop signs the motorcycle noise is unbelievable. These drivers rev up between these signs and speed up. They travel at high speed to and from Baltimore Pk. A speed bump here would help to slow these drivers down and lower the noise level.

  They "speed up" because there is an incline there. The township will NEVER put speed bumps on a road. That is a thru-way from the bridge. You didn't know that was a busy street when you moved there?

Speeding and Passing on Residential One Way Street Open

200-254 Cambridge Rd Clifton Heights, PA 19018, USA - Clifton Heights

Cambridge Road needs a DO NOT ENTER sign between the hours of 8am-5pm like Washington has. Cars are constantly speeding up our road to avoid the traffic at Baltimore Pike and Church. These cars are sometimes doing upwards of 45 mph or more. In addition, on several occassions my husband and I have been driving up Cambridge to pull into our alleyway at the top of the street and cars have pulled to the left of us, sometimes up onto the sidewalk, just to pass us because we are following the speed limit! We have many young, small children on our street and have had incidents before where children were hit. I don't want to see one killed because someone cannot be patient or follow the speed limit, something needs to be done!!

  I'm over on Washington too. This whole area is terrible. No parking, speeding you name it, we got it. Speed humps would be fantastic. I'm sure not many would agree but permit parking could help, it could be used to subsidize the bumps. For the amount of wrong sided parking tickets that get issued I think that money could also be put to good use to save our residents/kids from potentially being killed because of wrecklessness.

  I absolutely agree with you W Wash Res! I've been saying that we need permit parking for years! And you bring up a great point that the revenue from the permit parking could help pay for the speed humps. I am still constantly seeing cars speed up Cambridge Rd at speeds in excess of 45 mph which as we all know, can most definitely kill a small child if they should happen to run out in the road. With this said, nothing is still being done. With the warmer temps and summer on its way, I am concerned because there will be more children out playing. I really wish Clifton Heights borough would take this seriously before another child is hit or worse, killed.

People drive up Cambridge Rd. speeding all the time. In facts one of them lives on the street. He drives a red pick up with a bunch of stuff in the back of it. I will get your plate# and report you. Told the cops but they have done nothing about it as of yet. About 2 years ago a 3 yr old got hit by a car ob our street. Person wasn't speeding but still it was horrible.

Cars Speeding Though the School Zones Open

Corner Of Burmont & Garret Rds. Drexel Hill, PA - Drexel Hill

Every weekday when there are crossing guards on the corners & the School Zone lights are on, you barely see ANY cars obeying the 15mph school zone limit in this area. They are constantly speeding through along Garrett & Burmont Roads especially where the intersection is. With the Elementary school right there & the kids walking to the Middle School & High School, these drivers need to SLOW DOWN & obey the 15mph speed limit. If they put an unmarked police car by this intersection, that officer would be very busy writing tickets. These are our children we need to think about. SLOW DOWN & obey the speed limit!!

  I have lived on Dennison Avenue (a one way street) for 26 years and complained multiple times to the Upper Darby Police during this time. The cars are reckless and by the time they get to my house they are going 40 MPH. This is a 15 MPH street with a school zone.
