Kids at Play Open500-598 W Marshall St West Chester, PA 19380, USA - West Chester
Way too many times I witness disrespectable, clueless drivers, mostly drivers who do not live on West Marshall Street, drive up and down my street like it’s a speedway.
We have 10 children within 50yds of each other that play here on their own front lawns and or their own driveways and these “people” have NO CLUE that they even exist. I even see people texting while they are driving on my street.All I am asking is to be more self conscience while driving down this street. Times are changing and we now have children on this block unlike a few years ago when it was only older people residing here.
I would like to see some sort of attention grabbing sign such as “Kids At Play”, a slower Speed limit (15mph), or a speed bump here and there, to slow these people down before someone gets seriously injured.
Thank you for your Time

30th And Market Philadelphia, PA - Cobbs Creek
The area in and around 30th street station is covered by several different LEOs (PPD, Homeland Security, Amtrak Police, Penn Police , Drexel Police, SEPTA police). Despite this fact, there is literally zero law enforcement capability in the area. It's a free for all of reckless drivers on cell phones, blowing red lights through crowds of pedestrians. What's the city's excuse for failing to enforce the law? Where are the police ticketing texting drivers as is practice in Center City? Who has to die for the news and city to pay any attention to 30th street station?

359-399 Media Station Road Media, Pennsylvania - Upper Providence Township
There are people who live in apartments who walk to and from the train station up and down the hill that has no sidewalk... People also park in the Media Station Apartments parking lot who don't live there but use the train. This is very dangerous with the SUV's going 40+ up and down the hill (supposed to be 25 mph limit).. The limit should also be reduced to 15 or 20 mph.. There are blind and deaf people who take the train who walk this road to get to the train as well.. Something needs to be done before anyone gets killed by a speeding texting soccer mom.

Safety Issues regarding school bus Archived25-99 Tennyson Dr Trenton, NJ 08610, USA - US Congressional District NJ4
Rick Bus Company provides school bus tranportation in the morning for my daughter to Alexander Elementary school. My husband, daughter, and I have all witnessed with our own eyes my daughters bus driver talking on her cell phone as well as texting not only as she is pulling up to pick up my daughter but she will continue to talk as she pulls off and drives. We have contacted the supervisors at Rick Bus Company, as well as the department of transportation, as well as the principal of my daughters school, yet no action to our knowledge has been taken and we continue to see her talking on the phone. One woman even suggested we just call the police if we see it happen. I think the woman should be repremanded or fired by her superiors we should not have to call the police and ask them to stop the bus that our daughter is forced to ride on as we don't have the means to drive her everyday. My husband and I find this to be a serious saftey issue, and hope that you all at the trentonian agree. Perhaps if Rick Bus Company found themselves being questioned in print they would have a greater motivation to take care of these issues.

Kriebel Mill Rd Collegeville, PA - Montgomery County
I think the speed at which the students drive on our Township roads needs to be addressed. They zoom out of the high school parking lot with music blaring, lighting their cigarettes and chatting or texting in an effort to get away from school as fast as they can. The morning is worse, as there are elementary and middle school children waiting at bus stops. And some parents are just as bad in an effort to get their children to school on time.

268 South 16th Street Philadelphia, PA 19102, USA - Rittenhouse Square
Observed vehicle idling for quite some time. The truck was not being used for any purpose. The driver and passenger were texting on their personal phones. I asked the driver if he could turn the engine off and he said "why," and the passenger laughingly asked if it was for the environment. I said for the environment and for rate payers. The passenger was still smiling about his environmental joke. The driver continued to ask why he needed to turn off his engine. I explained that it was a waste of gas and polluted the air, and PECO probably would not like to waste the gas. He eventually turned it off.
