The Wellsboro community has been witnessing an unsettling pattern of high-speed accidents at the intersection of Stony Fork, Balsam, & Pheasant Hill Roads for over the past four decades. These incidents have not just been statistical blips, but tragedies impacting many families personally due to poor visibility and signage. The absence of sufficient signage & additional stop signs has led to an unsafe environment that jeopardizes the wellbeing of motorists on a daily basis. 

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Crash Facts and Statistics Report, intersections are the second most likely location for a vehicle collision to occur. A four-way stop at this crucial intersection would compel vehicles to slow their speeds and observe turn-taking protocols, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.

Transforming this intersection into a 4-way stop is no longer just a matter of traffic regulation, but a vital necessity for preserving lives and fostering a safer community. Our collective efforts can bring about this necessary change and save future families from undergoing similar tragedies.

Speak up for road safety in Wellsboro, PA. Sign this petition to call upon our local government to implement a 4-way stop at the intersection of Stony Fork, Pheasant Hill, and Balsam Roads.
