TRAFFIC HAZARD FIXED – Highway crews earlier this month (April 2010) repaired (above) what back in February was a mangled steel guard rail (below), damaged during a winter automobile accident on the north side of Pruss Hill Road in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township. Negotiating the sharp downhill curve west of Sanatoga Creek and Schaffer Road is a perennial problem for drivers when the road is icy. The repairs consisted of new supporting posts, replacement rails, and even some asphalt fill along the shoulder of the road.

That asphalt fill is a great idea. What I’ve seen in the past is a vehicle being pulled into the rail by the trenching along side of the road. A driver has little control once the wheels are in the trench.
Let’s hope this repair lasts a good while.
Slow down here folks, been driving it for 32 years and seen a lot of accidents due to speed.
