Too many cars travel at a high rate of speed making it nearly impossible for cars trying to turn into the parking lots of the numerous establishments. The reduction also needs to be enforced to ensure that drivers pay attention and slow down.

Not only do people speed but also ignore people in the crosswalks.
A lowered speed limit would greatly improve the safety of pedestrians.

They do not have enough time to stop at the pedestrian crossings with the limit at 35. My daughter and I had a horrible experience trying to cross 73. I do 25 going thru town and have no problems slowing down for the foot traffic.

I had just passed thru the intersection of rt 73 and store rd as I heard tires screeching beside me. As I turned I witnessed an accident in which the car rear ended another car and causing their vehicle to jump the curb and land on the sidewalk about 10 ft. Away from us. It was very scary to know 10 seconds sooner my baby and myself could have been hit and seriously injured while running on the sidewalk. For this reason I can no longer run thru beautiful skippack village. I urge you to consider this speed reduction to prevent further accidents such as this. While the current speed limit allows motorists to speed thru this area placing pedestrians at great risk for accidents. This may also deter people from visiting our community due to safety concerns. Thank you for the consideration.

My friend was walking her baby and an accident happened due to people going over speed limit and my friend and baby were almost hit . I can't even walk my dogs bc of how narrow sidewalk is and how cars speed by . This doesn't happen in new hope or peddlers village .

Motorist constantly drive over 35 mph usually closer to 50 mph while on their cells/not paying attention. I have seen on way too many occasion people almost being hit in the crosswalk because of drivers speeding.

I think the fact that people drive through and the sidewalks are crowded keep people away from these events. Other local towns close the main street during town festivals.

]]> Tue, 7 Oct 2014 09:51:37 UTC 17993645 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/17989724?utm_medium=rss Please reduce the speed on Rt 73 in Skippack Village. I was almost hit crossing the street in the pedestrian crossing.

]]> Mon, 6 Oct 2014 10:20:16 UTC 17989724 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/17989224?utm_medium=rss Walking on the sidewalk in Skippack is scary. Traffic zips by at high speed on narrow double yellow lined route 73 with little between pedestrians and speeding cars. I saw a man with a baby stroller cross and my heart was in my mouth. It is a hazard going in and out of the parking lots which line the shopping area. I would suggest crosswalks with lights and beepers to stop traffic for pedestrians as they have in Amherst, Massachusetts. The whole community would benefit and better still people would be less likely to be injured or killed by speeding cars and trucks. Thank you.

]]> Mon, 6 Oct 2014 06:39:28 UTC 17989224 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/17973069?utm_medium=rss It would be a good idea to change the speed limit to 25 mph on Route 73 between Old Forty Foot Road and Route 113.

]]> Thu, 2 Oct 2014 03:35:49 UTC 17973069 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/17969385?utm_medium=rss I totally agree that the speed limit should be lowered. The sidewalks are narrow & crossing the street, even at designated areas, is difficult. Thus, making the beautiful village of Skippack difficult to enjoy & hard to shop in!!

Walking on the relatively narrow sidewalk can be scary, especially with a stroller. Making the town more pedestrian friendly will hopefully also encourage foot traffic to local merchants.

I am worried every day for the people walking down the street with the cars speeding by. Some of the side walks are so small you have to walk on the road.
