In last week's column a reader mentioned that she was involved in a near-miss at the intersection of Route 842 with Cannery and Marlboro Springs Road and wanted to alert others that Route 842 motorists have the right-of-way.
Immediately after the item appeared, Newlin Township supervisors' chairman Janie Baird emailed me that the township has installed "Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” signs
below the stop signs on Cannery and Marlboro Springs Roads (both are township roads) as well as
“Stop Ahead” signs further back from the actual stop signs. Route 842 is a state road, and the township has asked PennDot
to install "intersection" signs in both directions near the crossroads.
"We are hopeful that these efforts will improve the safety in
this part of our township," Supervisor Baird wrote.
