It is the experience of both residents and businesses in Skippack that the current speed limit of 35 mph is far too high and, in fact, encourages motorists to travel at speeds of 40–50 mph through our neighborhood regularly.
These excessive speeds pose a serious danger to pedestrians and make crossing the street nearly impossible.
In our opinion, the speed limit should be reduced to 25 mph to better safeguard our patrons, children, and others.
We, the undersigned petitioners, including merchants, residents, and visitors of Skippack, petition Skippack Township and PENNDOT to reduce the speed limit on Route 73 (between Route 113 and Voit Drive) from 35 mph to at least 25 mph.
Drivers often exceed the speed limit through the busy business district, which serves not only tourists but also residents, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and children of all ages, many of whom are trying to cross Route 73 at designated crosswalks.
Reducing the speed limit to 25 mph will help ensure the safety of all who visit Skippack Village.
