Radnor Residents Sound Off on Safety Issues

Radnor, 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 Radnor 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:

• "People speeding over speed humps, erratic driving and people not stopping at the corner of Old Sugartown and Morris Road by the Wawa."

• "The new playground at Encke is amazing and walking distance for us but I rarely walk there because Iven Ave has no shoulder or sidewalk. And cars FLY down that road. Thanks for considering!"

• "The intersection of Goshen Road and Darby Paoli. Even though there are now 3 stop signs, some people still don't bother stopping. Frightening!"

• "The number of drivers I see every day texting and driving is truly shocking. I see people of all ages attempting to text and drive. Instead of cracking down on seat belt use, how about a real crackdown on texting and driving.

• "The drivers!"

• "Texting and driving"
