The traffic light at PA213/413 already backs up very heavily during rush hour. How will adding two more traffic lights on PA413 not worsen the traffic, especially considering all of the extra Langhorne- bound vehicles.

The traffic light at PA213/413 already backs up very heavily during rush hour. How will adding two more traffic lights on PA413 not worsen the traffic, especially considering all of the extra Langhorne- bound vehicles.

Our updated traffic analysis shows the same level of service for the build and no build conditions. Basically, prep-analysis has levels of service A through F with A being the best and F being the worst. Our level of service for both the build and no build condition at Pine (Street) and Maple (Avenue) is level of service C.

So, we are not projecting that the signal will get much worse and as far as the new signals we are projecting that both of them will be level of service B. Which is a very good level of service.

Our traffic analysis shows that they will operate well. It should be noted that with the two new signals they will be coordinated to work together so that ideally when someone gets a green at one as they continue through, they will hit the next green and that will pull two in together and operate better that way.
