Accidents waiting to happen Archived

100 Egypt Rd Norristown, PA 19403, USA - West Norriton

Even before the light was installed here to avoid accidents, an easier fix would be for a sign coming from Ridge Pike turning left onto Egypt Rd. Because it is an easy turn sometimes turn signals DON'T reset, sign should read "Is Your Turn Signal Still On." I believe this will help.

3 Way Stop & Repaving Needed Lincoln & Williams Way Archived

120 Lincoln Terrace West Norriton, PA - West Norriton

Township needs to install 2 stop signs at the corner of Williams Way and Lincoln Terrace to make it a 3-way stop. People use route as a cut through and don't even stop at the one stop sign already there. Lincoln Terrace needs to be repaved. It is a mess! Tons of potholes that haven't onlty gotten patch jobs the past few years.

  The paving has been needed for at least a few years.
  I saw the twp. finally has plans to repave the golf course Rd, which also has been needed for years...meanwhile there's funding for a new building at the Grow property, which has also seen new ball fields and a paved cart path. The priorities of twp. officials suck!

  I have complained to the township numerous times about the potholes on Lincoln Terrace. Tom Cinaglia, Director of Public Works for West Norriton Township, assured me late year that Lincoln Terrace would be repaved in 2011.

Speeding on Juniata Rd - Children at Play Open

Juniata Rd Jeffersonville, PA - West Norriton

I recently moved to Juniata Rd and it's crazy how fast people speed down this road. Every night I see a lot of children playing outside, one of them is going to get hurt, chasing after a run-a-way ball.

How about putting a "Slow Children at Play" sign up? This will not stop speeders but maybe it will catch one persons attention.

  I personally would like to see the people who live on Juniata street use the driveways that come with their properties. This would help drivers see the children better instead of having a child run out between two parked cars.

  Nothing has changed. In fact, I see it getting worse. An example, Halloween night, a white van blew thru the stop sign and sped down the street. Had Halloween not been postponed, I'm sure a child would have been hurt.
  
  Check out Gumbes Rd in Collegeville, PA off of Black Rock Rd, they put speed humps in and I think this needs to be done on the little streets in Jeffersonville, not just Juniata Rd. I will take pictures and post them soon.

Eliminate left turn onto Liberty ave from East bound Egypt troad Open

1967 W Main St Eagleville, PA 19403, USA - West Norriton

Traffic jams and near miss accidents are caused by cars trying to turn left onto Liberty Ave from East bound Egypt road. Eliminate the left turns and add a left turn signal from schuylkill ave (east bound).

2010-07-13 · Reported by Jennifer Golden (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

  Elliminating left turns is an illogical solution to this problem as Liberty Avenue is a one way street and traffic coming from Egypt Road would then have to find a turnaround. Limiting the traffic on Liberty would be a better solution. Prehaps adding speed bumps and reducing parking spots might help. People using Liberty Avenue as a thruway regularly hit speeds of over 50 MPH. Several children have been hit in the past 50 years as well as animals. If Liberty Avenue is a less attractive shortcut fewer turns will be made at Main and Liberty. A do not block intersection sign at the corner would also be welcome. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get home, but cannot turn onto my street because people waiting for the light at Main and Egypt have the street completely blocked.

  Assume you mean East-bound Main Street. This is the same problem as #44884. Great idea to eliminate left turns from Main and add left-turn signal at the next intersection, Schuylkill Ave. There already is a left turn signal for west-bound traffic there.

  If they switched the directions of the two one way streets-Liberty and Jefferson it would do a lot to improve the traffic pattern of that area.
  
  Liberty with a one way leading to Main St would only be allowed to make a right turn. At the Egypt Rd intersection the traffic coming from Egypt would have free access to make a right, a left, or continue straight onto Jefferson. The both directions on Main would have a left signal to either go on Egypt or onto Jefferson.

  Switching directions of the one way streets is a good idea.... And speed bumps, also a good idea... A left turn signal at the next light would, at the very least, allow a relatively easy way to avoid turning left on Liberty.... (unless you live on that street). There was a bad accident right there last night, presumably from someone trying to turn left. I hope that everyone involved is ok, but hopefully this will make someone pay attention to the problems with the traffic patterns in this area.

Light Timing Open

79 School Ln Norristown, PA 19403, USA - West Norriton

The traffic light at School Ln and Egypt road is ridiculously long when turning left from School Ln onto Egypt Rd(toward Oaks/Trooper). To compound timing issue, the light is all of 26 seconds long. This light NEEDS a motion sensor. When turning right from School Ln onto Egypt Rd (towards O/T) there needs to be a sign that says NO TURN ON RED BETWEEN HOURS 7-9am and 5-7pm. There is NO visual obstruction when turning right onto Egypt from School outside of heavy volume at the above mentioned times. Why was there a NO TURN ON RED SIGN placed anyway? NOT necessary. Please do something about this debacle. This is a long wait and waste of time. Thank you for your time. Linda Morganstein

no one stops at the stop signs Open

Beech St And Forrest Ave Norristown, PA - West Norriton

especially in the morning when the children are waiting for their bus. Cars just fly down the road, barely stopping at the signs. Also, 2 times now instead of waiting for the children to enter the bus, the cars still continue to go instead of stopping. Something needs to be done before someone get hurt.

People rolling thru the stop sign Open

153 Colonial Ave Eagleville, PA 19403, USA - West Norriton

Cars travelling on Colonial Avenue towards Sterigere Street rarely come to a complete stop at the stop sign at Pembrooke Road. There's no stop sign for the people on Pembrooke Road and I've seen alot of "near" car collisions as well as some people walking their dogs nearly run down. (I live on Pembrooke Road) The police need to sit on the dead end side of Pembrooke Road and start citing people. It's really out of control.

  Many vehicles, whether traveling towards Sterigere Street OR Marshall Street, coast right thorough the stop sign at Colonial Ave and Penrose Rd as well. Coming from either direction, at sometimes a high rate of speed, just barely slowing down and sail right pass the stop sign like it's not there!! A friend of mine lives near the intersection and has had her car swiped on two different occasions. The Police and township know of this on-going problem, and do nothing, and probably will continue to do nothing, until someone gets hurt or dies!

Stop Sign Needed Open

  Whitehall Road is a State Road, South Whitehall Road is in need of help for traffic control. There are stop signs on Butler Ave and Williams Way, cars rarely come to a complete stop cars traveling south on Whitehall do not have a stop sign - if there was a stop sign placed at this corner vehicles will hopefully be forced to make the right hand turn on the roadway instead of the property situated at this corner. The stop signs on Butler Ave and Williams Way need to be moved closer to the intersection. Looking left at the stop sign on Butler Ave you look into the homeowners house, looking right at the stop sign on Williams Way you are looking into a bush. Pictures have been provided to West Norriton Twp showing the location of the stop signs in connection to the intersection. PLEASE FIX this - the homeowners on these corners are tired of having their lawns destroyed!

  This request has been viewed 254 times. I am wondering if any of the viewers were township officials. If you, please take this request seriously. Stop signs are needed on either side of Whitehall road above and beyond the Williams Way/Butler Ave intersection. I have seen a neighbor heading north on S Whitehall Road almost get hit numerous times by motorist who 'GLIDE' through the stop signs. The vehicles on S Whitehall Road DO NOT HAVE STOP SIGNS and have the right of way....so either give us stop signs or ticket the non-stopping cars from Williams Way and Butler Ave. EACH CORNER at this intersection has endured enough property damage! Where is the click it or fix it for the property repair? WEST NORRITON TWP -- we have asked and asked....and still you have done nothing.

At the intersection of Main and School Lane need better "No Left" communication Open

Main Street And School Lane - West Norriton

EVERYDAY! There are people who refuse to comply with the law regarding "No Left Turns" from School Lane onto Main Street. EVERYDAY! It backs up traffic, and makes for a dangerous chance for traveling on both roads. I see school buses as well in danger because of these people who fail to comprehend the signs already posted. The one sign on School Lane is so far back I guess the drivers do not see it. Or they just do not care. Since School Lane is a heavily used shortcut, maybe there is a need for better signage or make that street one way going from Main Street to Egypt Road. There is a Child Day Care on that street. I am sure many families travel that road and all face danger at this intersection. I have seen numerous close calls. You have to have a high rate of accidents there. Please spend time, episodically PM rush hours and see for yourself. Aside it is frustrating to those who are willing to follow the law and to see from the left blocked by parked cars at the old school house is a challenge enough.

  Completely agree. Just across the street, Burnside Ave should also be NO LEFT TURN entering Main Street (at least during rush hour). It is extremely dangerous due to the crest in Main Street to the right. And it creates a traffic jamb on burnside and obstructs flow. It was suggested to install a light there but that suggestion is absurd. We can't have lights at EVERY intersection on main street. And it would be equally dangerous coming east over the crest on Main and trying to stop for a blind light.

  Maybe it will take a child on a bike, someone walking their dog, or a head on collision by someone rounding the corner too fast for the request to be taken seriously. This is a cut thru to avoid Main St. However, what I don't understand is with the number of accidents at Main and Whitehall why anyone would want to cut thru here to face that intersection. I see the close calls rounding this particular corner at Whitehall and Butler. A mirror will be of no value, it is also the motorist responsibility to obey the traffic laws - speed limit here is 25 mph NOT 40 mph Thank you for the suggestion.

  Just another point -- try entering your driveway by making a right with someone on your bumper disregarding the turn signal. Or put your turn signal on slow up to an almost stop to turn left into your driveway and the impatient or oblivious person behind you assumes you are turning at the corner. It is only a matter of time before I get rearended trying to enter my driveway.

left hand turn signals Open

Intersection Of Ridge Pike And Trooper Roads trooper, PA - West Norriton

This intersection was updated with new traffic lanes. But no improvements were made to traffic signals. Each direction has a left turning lane. Now each left turning lane need a light to allow safe left hand turns. Trying to turn left to go east onto ridge pike is dangerous due to fast moving cars coming over the slight incline going north on trooper. Plus cars block traffic in the intersection going west on ridge from trooper sometimes 3 deep while attempting the left turn. Ridge pike is backed up from Park ave to trooper contributing to this problem
