Wow, I just suggested this as well!

This information is being forwarded to Officer Michael Ciuffetelli of the Upper Dublin Police Department Highway Patrol Unit for follow-up.

Thanks for fixing this issue!

Is the issue really fix or has it just been passed on? It is important to utilize this tool to to track progress of an issue and not just close the issue as a result of a reassignment.

Sorry, I meant thanks for addressing this issue. It's not fixed, no.

Issue 3145169 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

A review of the roadway and crash data does not warrant any changes to this section of Twining Road at this time.

From January 1, 2007 through January 16, 2017 there have been a total of 429 crashes on Twining Road within Upper Dublin Township. In that same time period between the 1500 block and 1800 block, which would encompass the "S" bend, there have been 46 total crashes.

The breakdown of those crashes is as follows:
Accident/Pedestrian: 0
Accident/DUI:5
Accident/With injury: 12
Accident/No injury: 26 (4 of which were unfounded, 9 non-reportable)
Accident/Hit&Run: 3 (1DUI related)

Taking out DUI crashes and non-reportable crashes, that leaves a total of 27 reportable crashes which is just over 6% of all crashes along Twining Road. There have been no fatal vehicle crashes reported in that area.

The speed limit set on that section of Twining Road (25 mph) is appropriate and follows both PennDot and USDOT guidelines. All posted warning signage is up to MUTCD standard.

A request for additional speed enforcement will sent to the UDPD Patrol Division.

This issue is now closed. Thank you, again. We appreciate your help in improving our Township.

So someone has to die to get a change made. Good to know.

We see up to a dozen crashes in just one snow/rain storm so those numbers don't add up. Maybe they aren't being recorded as collisions or being reported but it is an issue. All we are asking for are some blinking lights going into the curve(s). Speed limit is fine at 25mph, although the majority of drivers disregard that speed limit every and all day. Either lights and/or a radar sign are required.

@CBNolan @Twinding Road, This may be a two part solution, but the speed enforcement is a good start. If enforcement is not effective as a long term solution then long term traffic calming measures such as speed humps, chicanes, or chokers should be discussed with the township.

It may be a good idea to identify the baseline before the enforcement, the time frame for the enforcement, and results afterwards. The results can then be used to determine if more action is needed or if the issue has been resolved. I can understand reopening the ticket to track progress in this regard.

This hasn’t been resolved.

Per the Upper Dublin Township Police Department, this issue is now closed. Thank you.

Bull!!! This issue has been open for 40 years and nothing has been done to deal with aggressive drivers on Twining Road. I am not saying Upper Dublin has not
tried to do anything, but whatever they have done has been totally inadequate
and totally ineffective. The aggressive drivers harass anyone driving at the
posted 25 mph speed limit. Since they are incapable of controlling the situation
and considering the road makeup of other nearby roads, it seems that it would be safer for all involved to change the speed limit to 35 mph (except in obvious areas that for short distances [ like the S-turns between Dale Rd and the cemetery] it is certainly necessary to slow down. A similar road is Dreshertown
Road between Limekiln Pike and Camphill Road. Most of the distance of this
section of Dreshertown Road is posted at 35 mph, with sections lowered to 20
to 25 mph as deemed necessary. I am not a Traffic Engineer and I understand
there may be constraints beyond my knowledge, but what is in place on Twining
road is just not working.

On a recent walk along Twining Road from Dale Rod to the Upper Dublin Shopping Center, It was business as usual traffic flying by at what most certainly was 35 to 40 mph in a 25 mph, an Upper Dublin Police vehicle was in the mix. The UD vehicle was driving in the pack of speeding cars! For starters the UD Police should lead by their actions, not validate for the aggressive drivers that speeding and tailgating are acceptable behavior!

Problem still exists. Please remedy the speeding on Twining Rd!

Vast number of motorists are thumbing their noses at the UDPD! The Police may not have RADAR but they can enforce the speed limit by using PA Motor Vehicle Code # 3310. Speeding is only one aspect of the real problem AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. Code # 3310 is FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY. By definition Aggressive Drivers also exhibit the other aspect of this behavior, TAILGATING! Aggressive Drivers speed up behind those who obey the speed limit and then tailgate.

This issue is closed, per the Upper Dublin Township Police Department.
