TRAFFIC SAFETY ENFORCEMENT & STUDIES: One of the Police Department’s primary tasks is to address the traffic safety concerns in our community. Therefore, if you have a traffic safety concern, please let us know what it is and we will do our best to try and address it for you.

CHANGING SPEED LIMITS & POSTING OF SlGNS: Although the Police Department patrols all of the roads in the Township, only the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation [PennDot] can authorize certain signs or speed limit changes or other traffic control device installations or changes to occur on State roads. Changes on Township roads are within the preview of the Board of Supervisors. Such changes generally require a traffic study and legislative action by the Board.

  • Please provide as much detail as possible.
