  • 727-735 Forty Foot Rd Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Towamencin
    Every morning my commute from Hatfield to the PA Tpk. seems like a game of chicken. Because of the squeeze from 2 lanes (from the intersection of Allentown Rd. and Forty Foot Rd. up to Heebner Rd.) cars speed up the right-hand lane only to then abruptly turn into the left lane just before the light. The problem is that there is always stop and go traffic in the left lane leaving little to no room for those right lane speedsters. On many occasion I have seen cars go all the way to the light in the right-hand turn lane before cutting over in front of those cars in the left lane. This is a very dangerous stretch of roadway which could be made much less dangerous by simply widening the roadway just above Heebner Rd. on Forty Foot Rd. I believe that it is one lane due to gas lines which run through that area, however, if something can be done to widen that stretch of roadway it should be done.
  • Bad Pothole! Archived
    1560-1564 Sumneytown Pike Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Kulpsville
    There is a pothole right here that needs to be fixed. Its in the southeast lane heading towards Upper Gwynedd. It's right in front of the post office on Sumneytown Pike. Every time I hit it, my car sounds like my tire is going to burst. This needs to be fixed!
  • Sumneytown Pike Kulpsville, PA - Kulpsville
    The traffic light at Forty Foot Rd, Sumneytown Pike, and Bustard Road needs to be fixed to allow people turning left off Forty Foot Rd the ability to turn left the same time people turning left off Bustard Rd onto Sumneytown Pike. I come home this way and usually have to sit through 2-3 light changes and it backs the traffic way back past the Wawa turn and is very dangerous. Since Forty Foot Rd was put in there they have never changed that traffic light to accomodate the traffic there.
  • Orvilla Road At Allentown - Towamencin
    The dip in the road at Orvilla where it meets Allentown is very dangerous. My son lost control of his car and cracked the oil pan. The small sign that says uneven road does not even begin to warn one of the dangerous dip.
  • 2100 Rittenhouse Rd Harleysville, PA 19438, USA - Kulpsville
    A light is needed at the intersection of Old Forty Foot Road & Rittenhouse Road.
  • Help! Archived
    1432 Sumneytown Pike Kulpsville, PA 19446 - Kulpsville
    Montco DOT just redid the road last year but the potholes on Sumneytown Pike, between Valley Forge Rd and Troxel Rd are terrible.
  • Welsh Road/Orvilla Road - Towamencin

  • 1852-1902 Pennsylvania 63 Harleysville, PA 19438, USA - Kulpsville
    The light coming out of the former Best Western gets a left turn arrow at the same time the traffic coming off of Towamencin Ave gets a right turn arrow giving both directions of traffic the right away towards the turnpike at the same time. It is a total mess in the morning's. The lights could also be timed better so traffic doesn't back up as bad making the right from Towamencin Ave towards the Turnpike.
  • 574-576 Weikel Rd Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Towamencin
    Every morning there are two, sometimes three, cars parked directly across from each other on either side of Weikel Road. They belong to the last houses on each side of the road - just as it intersects with Orvilla. You can see PLENTY of space in their driveways, yet they park on the road. Their cars are completely opposite each other, which causes the road to narrow to one lane. This causes a bottle neck and traffic forms in both directions, especially from Orvilla onto Weikel. I'm surprised neither of these cars has been sideswiped yet as there are near accidents every morning. Have some courtesy and park your cars in your driveways. Those houses have driveways (and large garages) that can fit quite a few cars...
  • 20-2100 Allentown Rd Hatfield, PA 19440, USA - US Congressional District PA13
    Allentown Rd just as you make the right turn from Wambold. Requires you to swing wide into traffic to miss it.
  • Towamencin Ave Harleysville, PA 19438, USA - Kulpsville
    Driving down this road at night is like driving past a whole row of cars with their brights on. The new street lights are too bright and too closely spaced.
  • Morgandale Dr Lansdale, PA 19446, USA - Kulpsville
    There has to be a better way to manage this dangerous intersection.
