New design of traffic lanes for drivers in Pennsylvania

Leave a comment

Braking traffic regulations and speeding are common in all parts of the world, often leading to accidents that can cause death. Many cities try to prevent this in different ways, and one city in Pennsylvania decided to draw zigzag lines to force drivers to drive slower.

This street is located in the suburbs and residents have welcomed this decision of the authorities, because they have already reported drivers for speeding. Grays Lane can be used as a shortcut between two major roads, and those who do not use it will drive up to 2.4 kilometers longer, depending on where they are traveling.

Although drivers currently ignore the lines and drive straight, this will soon change. The plan is to place plastic poles on the lines, which will force drivers to slow down and follow the line. By the way, the population of this small town is about 25,000.

These changes could reduce traffic on this street, and those who still decide to use it will definitely drive slower.
