Malvern Residents Sound Off on Safety Issues

Malvern, PA- Summer’s nearly here and with each walk in the park, day at the pool and backyard BBQ comes the risk of snakebites, drowning and fires, but don’t worry! There’s no reason to stay cooped up inside all season.

Patch put together a list of summer safety tips to keep you safe and having fun while the weather’s warm. Make sure to give snakes their distance and always swim with a buddy to stay carefree during the dog days.

Keeping these tips in mind, there are other possible dangers that affect Malvern residents year round.

We asked Patch Readers what they thought the biggest safety issues were in their town. Here’s a list of the most pressing problems, from break-ins to traffic jams:

• "There needs to be a 4-way stop sign at the intersection of Monument and Sugartown Road!"

• "There should be more visibility for left turn from College Avenue to Sproul Road. It's a blind turn and causes accidents too."

• "Turning left off of 352 onto King going either direction. Very scary."

• "Corner of Sugartown Road & Monument. Too many accidents to count!"

• "Traffic congestions everywhere. Too many multiple family homes being approved for construction and the roads can't handle the added volume. It's really ruining the home town feel of Malvern."

• "Definitely it's turning from 352 on to King Rd- either direction!"

• "Trying to turn left on Swedesford Road from N. Valley Road"

• "352 & King intersection! This is the worst intersection! It needs turning lights...immediately."

• "Lower the speed limit on Sugartown Road between King and Paoli Pike."

• "There needs to be a stop sign or traffic light installed at the fork in the Road at Conestoga Road & Swedesford Rd! Every morning someone speeds down Conestoga and almost t-bones a car! Seriously this needs to stop!"
