Pennsylvania State Line to East of School House Road

The department's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) identified the need for safety improvements to correct recurring accidents along Lancaster Pike from north of Valley Road to North of Mitchell Road. A combination of closely spaced commercial driveways and a lack of left-turn lanes combine to create numerous conflict points for motorists entering and exiting SR41. This is especially apparent at the approaches to the Yorklyn signalized intersection where queue lengths restrict sight distance for motorists entering/exiting commercial driveways.

• Installation of a new signal at the intersection of SR41 and Valley Road, which will accommodate left turns for SR41 and Valley Road motorists.
• Conversion from a four-way to two-way STOP control at the Old Lancaster Pike and Valley Road intersection to avoid operational conflicts with the proposed signal at SR41 and Valley Road.
• Conversion from a two-way to one-way southbound travel on Old Lancaster Pike to prohibit motorists from using Old Lancaster Pike as a bypass of the proposed signal at SR41 and Valley Road.
• To improve overall pedestrian access and circulation by adding sidewalks on both sides of SR41. Crosswalks will be added on all four approaches to the SR41 and Yorklyn Road intersection as well as on the three approaches to the SR41 and PAL Center intersection.
