Traffic, Speeding Focus Of Warminster Police Chief

WARMINSTER, PA —With numerous complaints about traffic and speeding from residents over recent months, township officials are going to address the issue.

Police Chief James Donnelly is expected to provide an update on traffic and speed monitoring of local streets at the Warminster Township Supervisors meeting Thursday night.

At last month's meeting, supervisors and township officials weighed in about resident comments that said that some roads had become a "speedway."

One resident mentioned issues on Henry Avenue while another raised safety concerns about Newtown Road.

A Henry Avenue resident said he had a petition of 63 signatures asking township officials to take measures to slow down drivers.

Supervisors and officials discussed determent options including speed bumps or four-way traffic stop signs.

But township officials said before any action is taken, they wanted an analysis provided by the police chief regarding how serious some of the complaints are.

Donnelly will provide that. He said that Henry Avenue —one of the township's main thoroughfares connecting County Line Road to York Road —sees about 17,000 vehicles a day.
