People also do not yield when making a left onto Dale from Patricia. We could really benefit from an “opposing traffic does not stop” sign. As stated above, this intersection is extremely dangerous. We had a wonderful police presence in the spring but it seemed as soon as school got out and buses were no longer involved that stopped.

I think a 4 way stop at that intersection would be a great resolution to this constant issue. This problem is also exacerbated by cars speeding off of Twining Rd onto Dale Rd. Better speed limit signage or some other from of traffic management should be researched for Willow Manor. No matter what the situation we are a major cut through during rush hour and with an elementary school, park and swim club all in our neighborhood, the risk to our kids is getting too great to continue to ignore.

Our thanks to all of you for your valuable input. You should expect to see increased enforcement at both ends of the development in the coming days. In regards to a 4-way stop sign, there are a number of requirements set forth by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) that we use to legally justify the need for signage and signals. Unfortunately, this intersection does not meet those requirements. We are optimistic that continued enforcement will help us achieve those goals.

My last comment, although off topic, is where we ask for your help. One of the biggest issues we hear about in Upper Dublin is speed. We are very limited in locations where we can enforce because Pennsylvania remains the only state where local police cannot use radar. The deterrent effect that radar would bring would help us do more to control speeding and increase safety in the township. There are currently 2 pieces of legislation which would allow PA police to use radar. Senate Bill 607 did pass the Senate and is awaiting action by the House Transportation Committee. This bill was referred to the committee on 6/26/19. House Bill 1686 (the companion bill) was referred to the House Transportation Committee on 6/27/19.

We are asking you to reach out to your local and state officials to request their support in getting this bill out of committee and to the floor for a vote.

Thank you,
D/C Dan Wade

@Deputy Chief Daniel P. Wade, would it not be possible to have the township invest in portable non-radar based solutions for speed enforcement such as ENRADD?

This issue to closed, per the UDPD.
