Speed Limits, Crosswalks and Pedestrian Safety

Published: May 23, 2023, 6:18 p.m.

b'At the 22 May 2023 Meet Mack Monday Zoom meeting, residents discussed the pros and cons of reducing speed limits to improve pedestrian safety.\\n\\nThe discussion focused on Newtown-Yardley Rd between Lower Dolington Rd (LDR) and Washington Ave in the Borough and LDR along the soon-(hopefully)-to-be-completed multi-use trail.\\n\\nShould pedestrians just jump in front of cars at crosswalks and expect them to stop in time? Pedestrian-activated flashing beacons might help as well as better enforcement of the lower speed limit.\\n\\nDolington Rd may be next to see a lower speed limit, but is the township going too far in reducing the speed limits on roads?'
