Crosswalk needed on Main St. for Lansdale Train Station. Archived

140-198 Pennsylvania 63 Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Lansdale

Law enforced crosswalk is desperately needed at Green Street and Main Street. There used to be a crosswalk, but it was never replaced after paving. People didn't slow down before for pedestrians -- now it gives drivers absolutely no thought to think twice about slowing down. It is a mess. This road is a 25mph zone, people are constantly speeding 40+, and no one ever slows down to let people walk, even with a busy train station people walk to everyday.

Cars NEVER let pedestrians cross Main St. Open

315 Main St Schwenksville, PA 19473, USA - Schwenksville

I live near the Library and like to take nice peaceful walks on the Perkiomen trail. To get to the trail I need to cross Main St. I go to one of the clearly marked crosswalks and stand with one foot in the street, waiting and waiting for someone to follow the PA law and stop for me. People only stop (to follow PA LAW requiring drivers to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk) rarely, less than 10% of the time and by the time I get to the Perkiomen trail I am filled with anger.
I have never seen police enforcing the pedestrian law, or enforcing the 25 MPH speed limit through town.

  Agreed.... I've actually taken my lift in my hands and walked out purposely hold ing my hand in the "stop" position causing drivers to have to stop. I've been SCREAMED at for doing that. I've had drivers just blatently go when the yellow turns at 29/73 and I've still got the "walk" light nearly running me down. The borough IS working with the state trying to slow down traffic through that area but like anything it takes time and money neither the state or the borough has right now.

  I am a daily pedestrian in Schwenksville. The speed of traffic is horrendous. I was once approached by a state trooper because he noticed that I was visibly upset and I explained to him how I almost got hit in this intersection. I've reported speed concerns to several troopers. Watch out for any yellow trucks from Trans-fleet concrete, and Indian Valley bulk carriers.

  I must respond to bones comment. The trail intersection is poorly marked and dangerous. There is not enough signange VISIBLE for traffic that turns onto 73. I 've tried penndot because my local officials tell me it is a state road and then penndot tells me it's the boro's responsibility. There is no visible crosswalk at Perkiomen and Main st. and the hash mark for cars to stop is all but invisble. We had ample funds to rechange road lines and hire a firm to take pictures of historical properties, but we have no $$ for pedestrian walkways.

failure to obey state law Archived

476 Main St Harleysville, PA 19438, USA - Harleysville

According to state law, traffic must yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk. There is no sign in the middle of the road and traffic refuses to yield.

City crosswalks on Boulevard unpassable Archived

7279-7299 E Roosevelt Blvd Philadelphia, PA 19149, USA - Mayfair

City-owned crosswalks along Roosevelt Boulevard's 12 miles need to be cleared. In the summer, the city mows grass on medians, via the Fairmount Park Commission, but completely drops the ball every snowstorm. Now it's even worse.
Pedestrians -- including students, elderly and disabled -- are forced to walk in cross-streets among vehicles. This is an inexcusable hazard created by city negligence, on a road where dozens of pedestrians have been killed in the last decade.
It's about time the city obeyed its own snow removal ordinance and cleared all pedestrian crosswalks along Roosevelt Boulevard.

  Hello,
  
  It looks as if a lot of time has passed since this issue has been reported because of the snowstorm. I'm going to close this issue since it's probably not a cause for concern at this time, but if it becomes a problem again you can easily Reopen it by clicking the link at the top of the page. Thanks again for working with us to help make life a little better for everyone in Philly!

SAFER CROSSWALK NEEDED Archived

BLINKING SIGNS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN TO SAFELY CROSS TO THE PARK. A GUARD OR A LIGHT IS BADLY NEEDED.

CROSSWALK Open

2877 E. Walnut Street COLMAR, PA - US Congressional District PA13

the crosswalk from the train station to wawa needs to be rejuvinated. its so faded that it gives a false sense of security to the walkers who can see it. drivers drive right by you blowing the horn because they cant see it. HELP!

  I didn't know a few lines drawn on the road could stop a car. It sounds like the lines are giving you a false seance of safety. While I understand the need of the lines and understand that walkers are suppose to have the right-a- way in a crosswalk ( something that makes little of no seance to me ) I bet part of the issue isn't the worn out lines. Its probably a bunch of stuff combined that is making a bad problem worse. Traffic turning off 309 or even crossing 309 has to watch for traffic coming out the driveway of wawa and the cars coming/going from the train station. I can see how a pedestrian might not be seen as easily. In the old days it was always a good idea to watch for traffic and try to avoid it. I realize pedestrians are suppose to have the right-a- way but some people take advantage of that and think they don't have to watch for traffic. Its a high traffic area at certain times of the day my suggestion would be to walk deceitfully, if traffic is coming wait till its clear to start to cross and don't waste any time crossing. If your hit by a car and dead inside those lines will it really matter? You will still be dead. Maybe another solution would be to move the crosswalk to a better location ( I google mapped the location and am now wondering where the crosswalk is. Apparently its been worn for some time). All these signs and stuff written on the road also is a distraction. What we really need to do is learn to share the road.Pedestrians ,bikers, motorcyclist, car and truck drivers need to share the road and not be in so much of a hurry and not freak out if someone mistakenly cuts them off.

Line striping, pedestrian crossings, etc. Open

Wellington From Frankford To Torresdale Philadelphia, PA - Philadelphia Planning District North Delaware

This is an issue for the streets department, of course, however, they seem to shut down after cool weather hits when painting is the subject. I visited the government site and found a number; just wondering if anyone has any 'pull' because the temps. are favporable to get this done ....not sure about paving plans, though.

Needs pedestrian traffic light for park/pool or police presence during summer Open

647 S Richardson Ave Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Lansdale

Many of Lansdale's children and families use this crosswalk to enter the Whites Road Park and Pool. Cars do not obey the 25 m hr speed limit, disregard the "state law to stop for pedestrian's in the crosswalk" and DO NOT even stop when we've been almost half way across the street. Please add a pedestrian traffic light before something tragic happens!!
