The Issue

I have seen countless drivers blatantly disregard the existing sign at the intersection of Baltimore Pike and Heritage Drive entering Lake Heritage, PA. Unfortunately, this reckless behavior is not merely a violation of traffic rules but a potential threat to safety. I am aware of several accidents that have already occurred at this location, and, without serious intervention, the risk of a deadly incident remains high.

The current signage indicating that U-turns are prohibited is ineffective. Drivers continue to make illegal U-turns, especially to access nearby establishments such as Sheetz, creating dangerous situations for other drivers and pedestrians. This issue has been ongoing for too long, and the current measures are insufficient to curb these hazardous violations.

One actionable solution is to enhance the existing signs at the intersection by adding clear, visible markings that explicitly instruct drivers to turn left for Sheetz access instead of making a U-turn. Additional signage, placed strategically ahead of the intersection, could serve as a more effective reminder, reducing confusion and risks associated with quick decision-making at the busy crossroad.

Traffic safety should be a top priority and acting now can prevent future tragedies. For those of us who live in or travel through Lake Heritage, ensuring a safer community for ourselves and our loved ones is of utmost importance. Join me in urging local authorities to install more effective signage at this critical intersection.

Sign this petition to support the installation of improved signage at the Baltimore Pike and Heritage Drive intersection and help prevent further accidents. Your signature is a step towards a safer Lake Heritage community.
