I have seen countless accidents in this area due to the dangerousness of this intersection. It is also VERY difficult for a car on Boot Road heading towards Phoenixville Pike to make a left onto Boot.

*correction - to make a left onto Ship Road

The only logical solution would be to extend Ship Rd all the way to the intersection of Boot Rd & Phoenixville PK. Make it a five points intersection.

And do what with Boot Road with all its traffic???

John,
The problem isn't Boot Road. It problem is that Ship Road needs to be re-engineered. Extend Ship over the creek, so that it connects with the intersection of Phoenixville Pike & Boot Road. Make it a 5 way intersection.
I sincerely hope something is done before it becomes a tombstone initiative. I've seen the wrecks that happen there.

i've lived in this area for over 12 years and have seen many accidents because of this intersection i have even been in an accident here. something needs to change i now cut through a neiborhood just to avoid it or take the long way around

ive been in the exton west chester for 18 years yes ive seen accidents there part of it is West whiteland and West Goshen PD both need to start getting speeders on boot road. Thats why its dangerous there. I mean have i had times where i waited and waited 10 minutes to get on boot yes but also times where im on in 3 seconds

an easy solution until it is fixed is to travel down King Road and make a right on to Phoenixville Pike and get to the stop light at boot that way much safer

Too many business to move to make a 5 way intersection. Just need a light there.

Yet another accident jus ta few days ago.
Same thing, driver pulling onto Boot from Ship gets T-Boned.

I hope no one was injured...

A cheaper solution than extending Ship Rd to Phoenixville Pike would be to make Ship Rd one way North from Boot Rd to Hillcrest Rd. That would eliminate the problem of trying to get onto Boot Rd from Ship Rd. Somewhat what West Goshen did when they made Grove Rd oneway at Rt100.

I'm all for an affordable solution!
How do we present our concerns before the proper authorities?
Social media is great, but are the politicians reading?

Crash dated 7/14/2017. How much can a traffic light cost compared to this kind of damage?
