"One person said the only improvement she has seen is when there are cars going both ways," Chimera said. "So on a regular time when there's only one car, they're still flying down the road, they're ignoring our attempt to slow them down."
Stop signs were considered for the road, but PennDOT does not permit their use for traffic calming, only for controlling volume, and found stop signs were not warranted on Grays Lane.
Speed bumps would be an impediment to first responders, particularly EMS, and could be a hazard for Public Works staff needing to plow the road.
Last month, the township's board of supervisors decided to change the road back.
Chairwoman Audrey Ware-Jones tells CBS News Philadelphia that the decision was made because of residents' complaints. She said the township will now work to find another solution to the speeding problem.

I would think a couple of radar units wearing speeders out would send a message. Require speeders to go before a traffic judge which means having to take time off to do so. They do that here in Arkansas so it is a real inconvenience if you get ticketed any real distance from where you live. Oh by the way Arkansas is the number one state for Highway Patrol high speed pursuit pit maneuvers and they are very good at it. TV and Youtube is full of pursuits and pitting. If you're just passing through take those speed signs as the gospel.
