Union @ 378 / Conestoga
W Riedy
•
3 months ago
As a pedestrian, it is difficult to cross the Union / 378 / Conestoga intersection. Difficult on both north and south side of the street (north side currently closed).There are no crosswalks or traffic lights. The presence of slip ramps on either side means that cars do not need to slow before turning, and often don't use turn signals. As a pedestrian, I therefore have to assume that every car is turning before entering the roadway.This intersection is at the trailhead to Monocacy Way, a popular walking trail, and also an approach to the Colonial Industrial area and festival grounds.

The stretch of Schoenersville Road, from Eaton to Mauch Chunk has no sidewalk. This is a route to a popular walking/cycling path (Monocacy Way) and a historic site and festival grounds (Burnside Plantation). This is not safe for pedestrians.

Restrict ebikes/motos on trails

Motorized dirt bikes and heavy "e-motos" (electric motorcycles without functional pedals) are illegal on multi-use pathways, including the D&L Trail. However, Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed provided they are pedaled, weigh under 100 lbs, and have motors of 750W or less. Post signs that clarify laws on class 3 ebikes + emotos on trails. Then enforce those laws."bikes" exceeding the legal limitations are seen every day traveling safer than conditions warrant, not sharing the trail, and causing erosion.

In some places, the road is not wide enough for 2 cars traveling at speed limit. This includes under the Broad Street bridge, and the area around 633 Conestoga st, especially when there are cars parked at the residence, when there are pedestrians or cyclists or parked cars.(2)Calling out the area around 633 Conestoga st: If there are cars parked there, when I am traveling southbound, I am fully blind to oncoming traffic as it comes around the curve, and as I need to move left to avoid the parked cars. I am average height for a woman, in an average height car, and I can not see over or around the parked cars. (3)Exiting Conestoga St onto Union blvd or 378 has no traffic light, and can get very backed up.I have seen lots of folks get frustrated and pull out into traffic when it is not safe. There have been a lot of crashes here. Traffic apps, including Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps regularly guide people to use Conestoga north to get from downtown to 378. Then they have a hard time crossing Union blvd because of traffic. They would be better served with an alternate route.(4)As a pedestrian, when walking on Union blvd, there is no easy way to cross the intersections on Union blvd/Conestoga St/378. Slip ramps on both sides of Union blvd mean that cars can travel at a high rate of speed and still turn. Often not signaling. It’s difficult to know when it is safe to cross. Having one less direction of traffic would help. Note that this is access to a trailhead (Monocacy Way) and access to the Colonial Industrial Area / festival grounds. (ps, a crosswalk anywhere would help, too).
Eaton @ 8th should be no right on red

As a pedestrian, it's nice that there are crosswalks and walk signals at 8th and Eaton. Unfortunately, because of cars making right on red turns, even when the light is faivorable for crossing, one can never really be sure cars are will stop/yield.
Turn signal: Union @ 8th

Union, traveling west to turn on 8th (south) has a turn lane but no turn signal.When in that turn lane (facing west), in my car or on a bicycle, the line of sight is blocked for oncoming (eastbound) traffic by cars in the opposing turn lane (Union east to 8th north). I am exactly average height for a woman.There is already a turn lane, and there are turn signals in the other 3 directions.
